I don't think this matters at all. KWin uses this policy for at least a year 
and we have not had any complaint from users about it.

Reality is that hardly any feature requests get created in the first place. We 
are talking here about 150 reports per year. So a maximum of 150 users can be 
confused by it.

This is clearly too early. We first need the infrastructure to handle it. As 
forum people have pointed out: if Plasma would start to use it, we will need 
more people moderating. I'm confident about this, but I am not for all of KDE.

I'm not going to start a bike-shed discussion :-)
