That's a new metaphor for me.  And forgive me, for I have no idea why
repainting a bike shed is such a big deal.  A little paint, a little time, get
on with your life.  Please Bawolff, would you shed some light on why this can't
be done?  There have been several editors involved in the history of this
change, so it is obvious to me that if the mod could have been made in the
usual manner, it would have been done long, long ago. 

Did the originator die, and now nobody wants to alter his work?  Is this one of
Jimmy Wales original titles and everybody's afraid to change it?  What the heck
is really going on with this?  It has never made sense to me, and metaphors
about repainting bikesheds just makes it more enigmatic.  Please explain this
in terms a 6-year-old can understand.
