That's an incredibly terse explanation for a very non-trivial
change with very non-trivial implications.

What analysis have you performed to lead you to decide that this
was a reasonable change to make?  Where can people see that
analysis and look over it to see if they agree with your
assesment of the data?

We can't apply a patch like that without any form of analysis or
reasoning.

You don't say "why" you're doing this, and frankly that really
ticks me off.
