If you and your wife are deciding what to eat for dinner, and you have
two opinions:

  1. Whatever is fine
  2. I really would like pizza

What do you think you should order?

That would be the situation if you comented on the patch adding 'impact'
before it was merged.

No analogy is perfect.

If you want a dining metaphor for the current situation it would be more
like

1. There are 100 people around the table eating lasagne

You are starting wrong. *Nobody* is reading the word "impact" right now,
and we are not going to swap the word in the middle of their reading.

This is a much worse analogy, and I seriously doubt you actually think
this remotely resembles the situation at hand.
