That is a valid opinion for you personally.  You don't care much  
about this and I have a similar opinion.  As I mentioned earlier,  
there were other issues I found more urgent or interesting.  Other  
people *do* care about this.  The Foundation might be a place to  
raise and coordinate responses to issues like this.
