I don't. I just restored the initial conditions until the debate about
whether or not to remove the snippet reached consensus, otherwise it
would have been distorted.
If there's such a strong consensus as those berating me wish to imply,
it shouldn't be a problem to reach it and have the change reinstated,
all within the community rules.
Now, I suspect some will argue for changing the consensus rules or even
fork if the current community-adopted rules get in the way of what they
want.
