    "I think it's cleaner" is not good enough. What *technical* reason
    can you come up with to make such a change? Keep in mind that we
    decided not to do this several years ago, when there were only three
    platforms to support. Now there are eight, with innumerably more
    people and scripts used to the current layout.
