I know this kind of argument has bounced around not just within the ASF but outside too. While we should feel open to debate here, even if I don't think it will get anywhere new, let me suggest it won't matter to the decision process here, so, not worth it.
We should discuss this type of change like any other. If a portion of the community, and committers/PMC accept that this is at the least a small, positive change for some, then we start with a legitimate proposal: there is an identifiable positive. Arguments against should be grounded in specific reasons there are more significant harms than benefits. (One clear issue: API compatibility, which I believe is still intended to be entirely preserved). I'd merely say that if one's position is only "meh, this does not matter to me, this change doesn't improve my world", it's not worth arguing with the people to which it matters at least a little. Changes happen here all the time that I don't care about or even distantly make my work a little harder. Doesn't mean either position is right-er even, we don't need to decide that.
