Your patch has one fundamental flaw. Purists who would want to use kibibyte etc. to display sizes measured in base 2 units would sure be against kilobyte etc. measuring in base 2 units too. In other words, this is only half of the solution, and we are looking for a complete one.

I realize that my solution didn't solve the "problem", I didn't provide a "complete" solution because if kilobytes changed to base 10, for many people that would be something very unexpected and confusing. Regardless of what the actual correct method of representation is, most people consider a kilobyte to be 1024 bytes.

That makes sense for now, ticket closed.
