--- Comment #23 from billinghurst <[email protected]> ---
Clutter is removing unnecessary items, redundant items, messy items; clutter is
not (re)moving a useful and considered page. So since when is a preference page
like Search preference considered clutter? It is clear and specific. 
Preferences are preferences, please keep them together not scattered around the
wiki.

My attitude is not about any other item, please don't presume.

When I am setting up my preferences for a wiki it is very easy to go into
preferences and change the settings that I want. Now you are going to make
someone go to the search page to do it, off via other links. That is not more
helpful.

If the issue that we give (too) much choice to users, and they are confronted
about tabs, then produce a simple and an advanced choice plan. Please produce
the evidence base for this change.

To the "maybe I missed ...". Have you missed the meaning of the word
"consultation" and maybe seeking a broader opinion? 

That it is considered that bugzilla is a suitable place for working out a
social solution is less than ideal, and yet it happens repeatedly. That a few
didn't think it is worthwhile consulting with the broader community about this
is disappointing.
