And after a few days, nobody in this thread is supportive of this topic. It is very unfortunate that the discussion thread that starts at https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqtslzlhbm.fsf@gitster.g/, which was meant to invite people who are supportive of this change to talk about its merits, has been cluttered with messages that are only about the review process, which I was hoping would happen elsewhere [*].
