I raise a brow about something in Emacs almost every day.  That
doesn't mean all those things are problems.  Let's not make a mountain
out of a molehill.

Also, let's not behave as if another opinion that's against mine will
change anything in a decision I made after careful consideration of
the possible alternatives.  Contrary to popular belief, I don't make
such decisions easily, and would appreciate some minimal credit here.

I'm not convinced, because I considered these effects before I decided
to make that change.
