  I'm not trying to deliberately antagonize, and I apologize if I came off too strong. But I'm tired of Martin acting as though every decision he's ever made was 100% correct and can never be altered without grave consequences. This attitude makes it impossible to have a real discussion, so I thought it deserved to be challenged. I brought up a specific example where reversing course had no negative consequences, improved the user experience, and made people happy, as a way of demonstrating that revisiting past decisions with a new point of view can sometimes be a good thing and we should be open to it.
  
  I'm more than happy to have a UX discussion regarding this feature. But I don't appreciate the attempt to shut it down before it begins by asserting that decisions made years ago cannot be revisited, that this code should be frozen and allowed to bit-rot before a replacement is even on the drawing board (let alone in production), and that we should ignore users who are angry and upset just because they didn't express themselves with perfect tact and grace.
