We are suggesting a more advanced Emacs where this would be
configurable - as easy as anything else - to get the desired
behavior, including the diamonds if that what (some)
people want.

If the bug did it, it's possible for Emacs to do as well!

Everyone that uses it have (or could have at least) their own
views what makes up a good Emacs. This multitude is the
strength of the FOSS world and just in general, what an awful
world it would be if everyone was the same.

We are not against you using or pushing for your software, on
the contrary. Maybe it is better, as you say. But that's not
the issue here, really.
