You are correct in your assumption that I have difficulty understanding the issues behind this change. After asking several times for an explanation, and after having gone over the archives to find some related discussion (and asking for pointers to that as well), I came to conclusion that this change is totally wrong. This change has nothing to do with fixing anything. It's breaking BC in a huge way, at the historical level, for the sake of a minor convenience for a very small group of users. Throwing lame excuses at it, like "it's evolution", doesn't cut it with me. I'm still at the same place. This is just wrong. It has nothing to do with stirring anything up.
