And you remember few occasions where the most quickly posted answer wasn't the most useful one for the problem you searched for? Otherwise, you present the weakest of arguments against the proposal.

So, add to that "I don't want to use that configuration", which is not an argument against it since registered users have had the option to choose from several configurations for a decade already. Also, one downvote lacking any accompanying explanation.

I think the arguments "for" are winning rather decisively, despite their quite modest showing.
