Objectively by which metrics? You are trying to force your personal preferences upon everybody else, doing that on a list most of us are not even subscribed to. You are trying to change an equivalent of build artifact, without bothering to change the source it is derived from. That file is *not* a mechanism for changing reality; it codifies the existing general agreement between the states of wetware in developers. And if you are interested in changing these states of wetware, l-k is the wrong place for that.
