Ah, I missed a detail on first reading. I think there has been a small misunderstanding.

Junio proposed a transition strategy, but I don't think it's fair to say he has chosen it without discussion or is imposing it on you. If you or someone else comes up with a better transition strategy, you are free to completely ignore Junio's proposal. If the affected users generally prefer your alternate proposal, in my experience that means it will be integrated.

Hoping that clarifies a little, Jonathan
