Somebody has to go back to the "git log" output and the list
archive to see if you two did not forget other ramifications,
because I vaguely recall this 1% thing was done for a reason and
Linus had a very good argument (at least back then the argument
sounded very good to me) supporting the deliberate difference
between the two "binary" heuristics.
If I did not have that vague recollection and all I had to judge
the proposed change were the issue in this thread, I'd probably
agree this is a good change, though.
