I've also been in the test for this new Reply since last week. It's got advantages and disadvantages. All the @'s in messages can make them cluttered, but the new way of tracking who's involved in the conversation results in "in reply to Joe Schmoe and others", so I don't know who "others" are unless I dig deeper. That's not great.
I think this feature could stand a bit more time in the oven before it is made the default experience.

Can you remove people from being replied to ? Didn't look like it.
Also seems to remove the ability to show everyone a reply via the ".@foo" convention.
I think you still can do that manually, but it is awkward. I think it's clearly an attempt to make Twitter more welcoming to new folks.
For the second, I think you are now supposed to retweet your reply.
