It's your right to think so and express your thoughts.  It's OK by
me.  But I'd really appreciate if you people kept characteristics
like "silly" and "bogus" to until your opponent's POV actually
proved such.  It isn't a TV show where the side who denounces the
other one louder wins the prize in the end.

It was exactly the justification I told to myself when considering
the new types.  I don't think I should have invented a lie for the
commit message in order to satisfy the sensitive folks.  And I hate
commit messages w/o technical background for the change.

Thank you for providing it.  Now all is in the hands of core at .
