It's not. It's just a simpler way of saying it. An even simpler way is:

- Ctrl-R replies privately to the sender, using their Reply-To: or From:

- Ctrl-Shift-R replies to all recipients (and the sender).

- Ctrl-L replies to the one mailing list from which *you* happened to
         receive *this* copy of the message, if it can work that out.
         Otherwise it acts like Ctrl-Shift-R does.

- Oh, but beware that there are some mailing lists with a dirty hack
  which tries to trick your mailer into replying publicly to the list,
  when you asked for a private reply. There's an option to ignore the
  evil Reply-To: header in that case, and pretend it doesn't exist.

I concede to not really caring. I get the impression that there is
resistance to the idea of adding more stuff to the toolbars, so we're
more likely to get away with *changing* the 'Reply to All' button to act
as 'Reply to List', based on a user configuration choice.
