And your point is?

I mean, of course. Are you asserting that this change is to avoid 
forum spam and site defacement? I thought you said it was to protect 
source code?

What kind of evidence would be sufficient for you? Do you need medical 
records showing muscle damage from logging in so many times in a week? 
You are stating an opinion about what is reasonable, others have 
disagreed. You are unconvinced and apparently plan to go ahead with 
the change despite the opposition. Others have then gotten miffed that 
you are ignoring their opinions and you have gotten miffed that they 
are miffed at you. Great progress there.

Turn this around. Several people have stated that a longer session 
timeout is not unreasonable and you have not offered firm evidence to 
the contrary.
