I guess you're referring to the thread at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/6/16/155
and you're asking either Stas or me.

You've answered your own question: we did not make the change Stas

in behaviour, and nobody else spoke up for it.

I haven't given it any thought since then:
do you have a good case for us to reconsider it?
