So what's my objection, in short?

It is just the wording "_the_ standard" that implies that anything that
uses -n to mean something other than --dry-run is _wrong_.

I didn't want to see anybody arguing against "commit -n".  It is used to
defeat pre-commit hook and has been there with us for a long time.
