But these topics add flames from uninformed people we have to douse early to the list traffic, and make it harder to find useful topics by degrading S/N ratio. In other words, it certainly harms a lot. I just want people to think twice (or more) if the change you are going to propose is worthwhile before imposing that cost to everybody. A couple of changes around "git push" scheduled for 1.7.0 are default changes, and it was worthwhile to discuss about them, but I do not think this one deserves the human bandwidth, especially we already had discussion on it recently and we have a reasonable configuration mechanism for doing what you want already.
