>> instead it focuses on making people change their understanding of LF in to NL which is as unnecessary complication that will cause inevitable bikeshedding around this idea.

Not really. In order to ignore CR you need to treat LF as NL.

Fair point, although I’d suggest that many programs already treat LF as NL (e.g. unix text files), so this understanding of the meaning of LF already exists in the world. If you’re writing anything generic/cross-platform, you have to be able to treat LF as NL. So there isn’t really a change to be made here.
