Interesting that you had plenty of time to write that long winded response though. If you didn't have time then why do you have time now?
Because a direct response here doesn't waste any of the other developers time, time wasted for the Bitcoin dev community is at most the ten minutes I'm spending here-- and potentially a large amount of time _saved_; if the sunlight I shone on the issue prevents it from turning into another forest fire FUD fest.
I suppose. My concern is that I've heard far too often that the developers are too busy to respond to such small things. I have no doubt that's the case. But how then do you determine what to actually respond to? What is not worth your time and what is? This was something anybody else could have responded to. No offense to the OP but it really is an unnecessary change. The community here could have pointed that out just as easily.
