Objectively by which metrics? You are trying to force your personal
preferences upon everybody else, doing that on a list most of us
are not even subscribed to.
You are trying to change an equivalent of build artifact, without
bothering to change the source it is derived from. That file is
*not* a mechanism for changing reality; it codifies the existing
general agreement between the states of wetware in developers.
And if you are interested in changing these states of wetware,
l-k is the wrong place for that.
