I think the problem in this particular case is lack of agreement about the nature of the pointer accleration problem and/or its solution. If those interested in solving the problem can discuss it here and come to some agreement on what the true nature of the problem is, and come up with a fix that solves it, then the code will get changed. Churning the code by committing each personal preference solution that gets submitted doesn't solve the problem (and that's how I'd characterise most of the submissions that actually contained patches that I've seen on this topic so far).
