I'm not attacking the project, I'm making an objective claim, and I can back it up with several instances of evidence where 99% of the users would benefit from a change, yet it does not move forward.

If you don't agree my comment is accurate, that's one thing, but labeling it as an attack is another.

I would admit I was wrong if an /etc/gitconfig is indeed shipped by default, and agree that the Git project is indeed welcome to change, but that's not going to happen.
