Very true, and this is why I feel it necessary to point out such occurences.
Now, for example, you know that at least one of us thinks renaming a config
file is worth a discussion.

True that.  Writing code w/o discussion is not something I have a problem
with - I have many trees laying around where I worked out ideas prior
to letting those trees rot.

True - but since undoing a commit can be a significant barrier, it's
easier to scream before hand.  I'm a lot more uncomfortable w/ asking
somewhat to remove their code then I am with suggesting it not be
committed.
