Help me understand here. The reply by Julian is a huge overreaction. The text you quote seems to be condemning him (a user, not the developer) for fighting a seemingly worthwhile change on the principle of it being the way it was for a long time.

So doesn't that kind of prove the point that you're saying isn't true?

Seems like you're making a bit of a jump there. :-)
