  I made it up, i thought it was obvious.

  You could make the same claim, but it would be a stupid comparison to make, so let's pretend you did not make it.

  So ? congratulations ?

  We're not crippling anything

  Yes, that's what options are for.

  Useless comparison.

  As the person that has been working on this software for more than 15 years, any decision that changes the default behaviour is going to affect me, because when people get angry because we have changed (broken for them) how the software works, they will come to me complaining (like you are doing now)
  
  > It's not an arguable point or even worthy of valid discussion.  It seems to be a problem for some that has been addressed, and that's a very good thing.  It makes the software infinitely more useful from my perspective.
  
  Yes, you are an user, you can only see your bug, it's the most important thing ever for you, which makes you biased.
