    I did not keep reopening this.

I didn't say that you did.

                                   I simply submitted a bug report.

Your bug report reopened a question about Emacs's interface that we
decided many years ago.  That one message, reopening one question,
would not be a problem.  But people have tried to reopen many
different questions that were decided long ago, and that adds up to a
big time drain.
