Upstream change or not, you're pissing off users to save 59k out of
however many gigabytes a minimal GNOME install is. I shouldn't really
presume to speak for others, but for me focus-follows-mouse is wired

Yes, same for me. Coming from the Unix world, I'd be utterly lost
without focus-follows-mouse. As Tom said, it's a fundamental UI behavior
that is difficult to change when you're used to it. It's like switching
to vim after using emacs for 20 years, or vice versa. If Gnome takes it
away, I'd be forced to hack my own patches to keep it around, which
would be painful. I do hope they at least keep it even just as a gconf
setting. Unfortunately, GNOME has a knack for slowly taking away
configuration options, and if you read between the lines their reasoning
is always the same: we love Windows and we want Gnome to be just like
it. Or so it seems.
