I don't want to belabour the point. If there's general agreement that the new behaviour is the best result that's fine, especially if it is well announced. I agree that it has been inconsistent and weird for a long time. I think my objection simply comes down to "we all got used to it being weird over the years, and now you want to change it!?"

Followed by table flips and all the rest. But it really isn't that much of a big deal, so I won't persist. Long term having it be its most correct is probably the best thing.
