I could understand that, even if some people did agree with my desire
to increase legibility by decreasing visual clutter.  I think it also 
provides

I'm (naively) curious as to why it's being flagged now as opposed to

Have reviewers or review methods changed?

Have standards changed?

Did it just slip under someone's radar two years ago?
