Sorry Alex, but you make distorting statements such as that, and then
you accuse DJ of trolling when he takes (extreme) counter-measures to
prevent that you ignore clearly stated objections?
Carlos and others judged that there was initial consensus to remove the
thing; it wasn't unanimous but that's fine, because it wouldn't have
changed consensus. We had further discussions, but consensus to remove
it got only stronger over time when more developers stated their opinion
and were in favor of the removal. That was the status quo. Carlos
clearly objected to any replacement, which includes replacing it with
the same thing (ie, reverting the commit).

It was gone, you replaced it with the same thing.
