Comment (by Carlton Gibson):
> ...makes it impossible to judge the feature on its own merits.
That’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is that we can’t just change a
design decision in a bug fix. Not when there’s a one line change that just
fixes it.
We can change the feature if decided, but that would be done separately:
the policy is that to change a design there needs to be a discussion and
agreement on django-developers and so on.
The impressive list of people is relevant because they obviously discussed
this at length and spent a lot of time putting the feature together. It’s
been unchanged for 10 years. They must have got something right.
I’m not sure that I’m at all confident that we’d make a better decision
now, having given it not much thought or time or effort at all.
(I appreciate our time/thought/effort is not zero.)
> ...my vote certainly counts less...
No, your vote counts too. You’ll note I didn’t close your PR, or merge
mine. I just dug up the history. I don’t mean to upset you. I’m just
trying to get it right.
