Your tally probably doesn't mean what you think it means. In my experience, far more people are likely to complain about 'changes' they don't like than are people who approve or are neutral about the same 'changes'. Like on a ratio of 10 to 1 or greater. I subscribe to around 20 very busy mailing lists, all intentionally sent to the same mailbox folder so as not to interfere with all my other more urgent business and personal mailbox folders, and all but GnuCash have always used a subject prefix. (including one which uses the useless/annoying '[Users]' as its prefix but that is another story). The prefix is EXTREMELY useful to me. So add me to the 'approve' side of your tally.
