Personally I agree with you, and so do the majority of folks commenting on the original Meta discussion. If you think the issue should be re-examined you should probably open a new discussion on [Meta.SE](http://meta.stackexchange.com) (referencing the overwhelming support on the previous discussion), as this would be a network-wide feature/change.
