I’d rather see discussion on the subject than an immediate revert; not that I’m against reverting in any way. Let’s make the changes, if we do decide to make any, be beneficial. The offending change was a suuuppppeeerrrr old pull request that had been laying around forever and Hannes decided to merge it. It had been around for such a long time that I figure any complaints would have been raised and addressed between the initial PR [1] and now. Funny how people like to voice their dissent after-the-fact (just an observation, not a prompt for discussion). CC-ing webmaster list as a more appropriate forum.
