I am far more concerned about the time wasted DISCUSSING whether something is suitable on not, when those people could be coding instead.

Literally, this would be a "sigh, okay... people are upset, and this serves literally no purpose whatsoever... it takes two seconds to revert it without affecting anything whatsoever, or we can discuss it for weeks on end... <applies patch to remove it>. Done. Real work now?"

That's... how (us) (computer?) nerds roll. If something is not 0/1 black/white, discuss increasingly minute minutia until it is. I hate it too sometimes.
