But I do hope you'll listen to others. And yes, Michael's point about committing before discussing & deciding is spot on too. Remember your curly-quote crusade? You did the same thing then, with similar complaints about acting widely, unilaterally, and prematurely.
I disagree about the comparison. The curly-quote was (still is) a fiasco, a big scope of changes (and breakages) with comparatively little practical benefit. This bug report at least deals with a real problem.
And of course it's much easier to criticize (what a lot of us have been doing) than provide actual wording changes. So I wouldn't say committing too soon was a significant problem in this particular instance. It's not a far-reaching change, and we could still revert it.
