Take a deep breath and a couple of days off, then re-read the so-
called "ongoing discussion".  It is a textbook example of the bikeshed
phenomenon, with hardly a single rational argument.  Furthermore,
there is nothing in it that hasn't already been said over a year ago
on the Austin Group mailing list (except for "Unix is *supposed* to be
hard!"), and the Austin Group concluded that the change was correct,
though outside the scope of a Technical Corrigendum.

In a couple of days, another poor soul will propose another trivial
patch on a mailing list, and we'll all move on to the next bikeshed
and forget we ever argued over this, and it will never come up again
because *nobody will ever be negatively affected by this patch*.  And
in a couple of weeks or months, maybe Giorgios will have gathered
enough courage to actually dare submit a patch for review again; or
maybe he'll just stick to the doc tree, where (almost) nobody ever
argues over anything.
