Stick to your first decision and let it run at least for two weeks that way.

Changing it back now again for some lists only leads to more confusion.

There is really no mailclient that fails at replying to the list. They
may not heave an explicit "Reply (only) to list", but every mailclient
has "reply to all". And people should just use that.

The change of removing reply-to was introduced without prior
announcement (IMHO the biggest mistake about it).

It just is a different way of managing lists that people will get used to.

If the LO lists would have started with that setting to begin with,
there wouldn't be loud complaining now.

It is true that some people now get duplicate mail, but only those
actually participating in a discussion, and there it can be beneficial
for some, and for some others (gmail users) there is no difference at
all.

So have it settle two weeks, then let the corresponding projects have
a vote they organize themselves. Have that vote presented to you and
if there is a *clear* preference, switch back.
