+My bias is probably apparent in that I pushed the original patch...\r
+\r
+I think the there is potential for unfortunate mistakes with either set\r
+of bindings. On the one hand sending replies to unintended people can be\r
+very embarrassing. On the other hand, forgetting to reply to the group\r
+can also be problematic.  The latter is easier to correct, _if_ it is\r
+detected.\r
+\r
+When we discussed this earlier, there were people who supported both\r
+options as default. I broke the tie based on my experience with other\r
+mailers, and the fact that apparently I worry more about sending things\r
+to too many people than to too few. Obviously Carl would have chosen\r
+differently.\r
+\r
+It would be easy enough to add a customization variable to swap the\r
+outcomes of r and R; iirc this is what wanderlust (or maybe VM) does. It\r
+seems that would not really make people any happier, since the complaint\r
+is not that it is hard to do the keybindings, but that the bindings\r
+changed.\r
+\r
+I do worry that by changing back, we annoy a whole new set of\r
+people. I'm not worried for myself; I can add the equivalent keybindings\r
+to my .emacs. I do (hypothetically) sympathize with people who just got\r
+used to the new behaviour and are surprised again.\r
+\r
+Anyway, if there is consensus that changing back is the right thing to\r
+do, then I can live with that.\r
