This spawned a huge megathread where no clear consensus was to be found.
Discussing this as a general proposition is unlikely to lead to any
results at this point, so I'm closing this bug report.
If this issue is to be revisited, I suggest it is done with patches that
are both
a) very small, and
b) sent in separate bug reports.
In particular, we are interested in fixing those places where there is
only a joke, and no a clear explanation.
Thanks.
