In reading thru this thread I don't see an us vs them.  All I see is a 
community that has strong opinions.  Maintainers should listen to the 
community.  Forget about strong individual opinions--this thread shows 
that there is enough concern that the maintainers should respect that 
concern and at least address it thru the forums or with code.
