The question isn't really a simple matter of whether there is a change 
or not but whether it is going to be in the upstream project or is it a 
patch forever?  Pointing out deviations isn't a justification for making 
more such changes. It is a good motivation for avoiding them.

Some of my packages have some patches as well. In one case, upstream 
said they aren't doing any more releases even though they didn't 
disagree with the patch. In another case, the software doesn't even 
build without a patch in recent distributions and upstream isn't active 
either. There are more, which is why the guidelines have a list of 
exceptions as examples.

Hate? You need to get less emotional. Fedora is getting better at 
pushing things upstream (including configuration changes) than before 
and I don't think it is a black and white thing and we shouldn't be 
dismissive of configuration changes.
