It's pretty normal to see opponents of a decision like this complain
loudly when it lands on their system, whereas the silent majority in
favour will be happy to see the change finally implemented but reluctant
to stir up the discussion again.

I don't think new arguments are brought to the discussion, just new
people, who are temporarily inconvened by a change towards sanity.

Nice emotive response, especially the subtle but unsubstantiated 'silent
majority in favour' bit -- but you forgot the part where you were
supposed to actually point out a tangible benefit which is achieved by
breaking compatibility like this.

Oh get off your high horse, this entire thread is pretty much all
bullshit and emotions.  Not every arbitrary decision deserves to be set
in stone and be defended under the banner of backwards compatibility.
