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.
