This is what's felt disingenuous about a lot of the pushback energy, at least to me. The conflict is framed in terms of: "People who say they'd be more comfortable if X were changed to Y," and "People who say X vs Y is meaningless… but spend inordinate amounts of time arguing that branch changes and other relatively inconsequential change is _literally the death of freedom_.

If it doesn't matter, it's low-effort, and the change results in an environment that's more comfortable for some people, it seems like a pretty straightforward equation. Anyone who wants me to oppose that kind of change is implicitly arguing that it does matter, and the current state is the better one… without bothering to make a case for it.
