Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3474:
-------------------------------------

Also, given the attitude presented here towards me uploading a *patch* 
(threatening to revert my commits no matter what etc), you can be damned sure I 
am going to be a total asshole about builder APIs.

By taking such a ridiculous stance on this internal API you have sealed the 
fate of builders across the codebase.

Instead of looking at the actual use case and thinking 'does this need a 
builder' you assume I'm completely against them: actually I don't have such a 
blanket opinion: if you look at some classes I have added to lucene you will 
see that I have even added builders myself... where it makes sense!

But just because a class has two booleans doesnt mean that it needs a Builder: 
thats my problem, when you use a pattern as a hammer across the board like this 
then it becomes an antipattern, because its the wrong solution.

In some cases Builder makes sense: I think just not here... but this doesn't 
matter now. I'm gonna scream about builders now even when they really are a 
good fit.

Nice work.
