Well, many others did. And many others agreed with the other changes you disagree with. These decisions have been made. The time for discussion is _over_, unless you've got something more substantial than the pot-shots you've been taking so far. If you feel these changes make it impossible for you to use Debian, we're sorry, but it looks like the time has come for you to move to another distribution or start your own or whatever. If these changes do not make it impossible for you to use Debian, then please come up with something substantial enough that it might actually make people reconsider (I'll give you a clue, "I don't see the need" ain't likely to work---obviously the others did) or *drop it*.
