This is an oft debated issue and there are arguments for both options.
The current setup allows easier replies to either originator or list by 
simply selecting which Reply button you use. If you set default reply to 
the list how do you reply to just the originator when you want to?

OTOH if your mail tool doesn't have a ReplyAll button its slightly less 
convenient.

The upshot of all the debates (see the archive!) has been that it is the 
way it was set up so that's the way it is.

I'm the opposite, all my lists work this way.
I think the older lists tend to work like Python because all the
older list managers (eg listserv etc) tend to work thataway.
With the advent of web mail systems lists seem to be swinging
the other way, but most of my mailing lists pre-date the web
by a long way! :-)
