You can call it unilateral or whatever you like, but there are project principles, e.g., "try to keep things consistent", and "making unusual things possible is fine, but it shouldn't make the default thing harder", and they are not negotiable. When it comes to quality of the end product, it is true that your considering it a waste of time does not matter. It is effort needed to polish your topic to an acceptable level. Either we do so with the help of reviewer input, or alternatively we could drop the topic. In any case, I'll keep the three patches separate and mark the topic for 'next'. Thanks.
