Thanks for a correction. Yes, if we do not revert it, then that would allow people to follow a bad workflow we do not want to recommend (and I think that is what Elijah does not want to do), and that is why I said the ship has already sailed. > Those who don't like such alias are still free not to define or use it. That's not the point. Those who do want to be careful can learn to use a new option --forbid-stupid-things, but why should they? They should be forbidden from doing stupid things by default, which is the point of this exchange.
