Actually, I rather think it's important that we stick to our own
decisions, especially ones made not so long ago.
This particular decision wasn't made out of ignorance, or slipped
through the cracks. It was discussed at length, reviewed, and updated
according to discussions. It in effect set a standard for doing this
stuff, so we should expect others to follow the standard. We could
also extend and improve the standard, as we gain experience. But we
shouldn't throw it away, just because it is marginally more complex in
some cases than some simplistic alternative. Throwing it away without
a very good reason sends a message to the community that we don't
uphold our own development decisions, and are quite ready and capable
of overturning them at will soon after they were made in good faith.
That's a bad message for a veteran project with a vibrant,
decentralized community.
But it's clear at this point that no one shares these views, at least
of those who voiced their opinions. Too bad, but what else is new?
