In my very humble opinion, I think it will overall cost less energy if we let changes like this go in, and deal with the odd case where the change is not obvious after all. My reasoning is that these cases happen very seldomly as the global maintainers have demonstrated a good sense of judgement, and it's always easy to revert if we need to discuss this. -- Joel
