To clarify, I am neutral on the change. I only object to
"finally start listening to our users". As I said on IRC, we add
features because "hey that's a good idea!", whether 1 or 10,000
users ask for it. If the feature is a bad idea, it doesn't
matter how many posts on the users list ask for it. We can argue
all day long whether an idea is good or bad, of course :)
