My general philosophy on these kinds of things:

It is a bad thing to change established behavior (since it might break 
people's existing configurations.)  However, if the current behavior is 
useless to people AND the corrected behavior would be useful to people, 
then it is worth fixing.

I'm not sure this applies here, though, what do you guys think?

Sorry for late replies.  I have been psychotically busy.
