Guess I missed the smiley that I presume belonged above. Something I
find annoying is when people impugn the motives of others without good
cause. Just because you disagree with the decision (and clearly
several people do) isn't reason to ascribe petty motives to those who
made it. Perhaps it was even a poor decision; the point is at least
arguable. But the motivation behind it was rather explicit and was
nothing so petty as a perceived need to be different.
For what its worth, I wasn't involved in making the decision, and the
% annoyed me at first also, but I've gotten used to it.

Indeed, that was exactly the issue.
