If that's the case, then I don't support it.  I really don't want to
be part of a bad technical decision made to appease people, since that
just breeds more bad technical decisions.

I agree that this change doesn't make any sense unless there's a good
chance of it also happening upstream.  Any hints towards making a
patch doing that?

Thanks for your thoughtfulness,
Jonathan
