Yes, kinda like that, but with the note that I do think we should not
lock down the UI in favor or not breaking expectations. I mean, if
people want to retain a specific behavior forever, maybe they should
just keep using that version of git forever? Nah, that doens't work of
course, but I do think a balance is needed between the two (improving
the UI and not breaking people's expectations).
