Haha :) No, it's just that, as far as I can see, the impact on newbies
is that we tell them to reboot instead of doing ctrl-alt-backspace.
Yes, but why?
I don't *care*. Stop trying to argue with me. My only position on this
is it really doesn't matter as much as you all seem to think it does. I
don't care if it stays the way it is or gets patched, I just wish
everyone would quit wasting time bikeshedding about it.
OK, so we should just sit here doing nothing when we see a change that
*we* consider bad? Nah, better to speak up, I think.
You have the notion that this does not matter, but I, and apparently
quite a few others, think it does.
Yes, they can just reboot, pressing ctrl-alt-del instead. But wait, that
is another shortcut that people accidentally can press. Should we "zap"
that one also? If not, why should we zap ctrl-alt-backspace, but not
ctrl-alt-del? And if we zap both, they have to press the reset button,
or switch the computer off and on again, a process that might cause loss
of data, and even file system problems.
So my thinking is that this really matters.
Sure, a user might press ctrl-alt-backspace accidentally, but me feeling
is that this is *not* such a recurrent event that we should remove a
very useful function/keystroke from the system.
