I don't understand these questions. I think my point was
clear enough.
I wrote these queswion because at this moment I'm feeling majorly
picked upon. My opinion has less value apparently because I
understand how Emacs works. So instead of encouraging users to
become more like me, i.e. grokking things beyond the obvious,
we're doing the opposite. I find this terribly distressing---
far more distressing than the change of a particular behavior,
which would be of no consequence to me anyway.
I'm not arguing that the actual change should be done yet
(that would be Didier). I'm trying to establish that the
current behaviour is far from obvious, so we disagree at the
very start.
I agree that the behavior is not IMMEDIATELY obvious or logical.
Many things aren't. But as you learn more, non-obvious things
start to make more sense. Thus my point about not catering to
ignorance.
