I disagree completely. There are many cases in which I have greatly
appreciated a Cc on mailing lists on which I participate because they
generally arrive much sooner than the mailing list answer does. This
list especially has been known to have delays of up to at least 3 hours
before emails that are sent actually show up in my mailbox. That
doesn't help much when the critical problem has escalated and my hair
has fallen out. It wouldn't be hard to configure your Gnus to add the
mail-followup-to header for this list. Even though it isn't quite a
standard and probably never will be, I know a lot of users on this list
have software that respects it. I know mine does.
