Comment (by joedolson):

 I'm not sure it makes a lot of difference. It means that screen reader
 users will probably get notified twice about the number of items in the
 list - with radio button groups, screen readers generally indicate how
 many items there are in the radio button group; they also announce how
 many items are in a list.

 I'd like a second opinion on this - I'm going both ways on it: it is a
 more semantic choice to have this in a list, but it also means that
 essentially redundant information is being announced for screen reader
 users. From a usability perspective, I think it makes the experience
 worse.
