Yeah, and go ahead and ignore all possibility of bettering the framework while you're at it.

People like views.properties, why not keep them happy? It's like the propertytag debate. People like the idiosyncratic way it worked, why modify it just to enforce some arbitrary perception of correctness? I really do like Maurice's approach of keeping things as simple as possible. I likewise feel that everyone should develop an instant knee-jerk reaction AGAINST adding more configuration options for users to be befuddled by, and that it should be viewed as a distasteful last resort.
