It is a tradeoff.  How urgent is the feature, how much bloat will it
create, what's the mainenance load on people like Christoph.  Since he
is one of the _very_ few people who actually carry the maintenance load,
I would take his advice rather seriously and try to convince him on
technical grounds.

And this is a perfect example of how not to convince someone.  Once you
have the time you might want to look at lsattr/chattr.  Until then, this
discussion is a waste of readers time.
