We do review both the design and the implementation on this list, and it
actually is a *good* thing if a proposal is rejected when its design is
flawed at the conceptual level.

A perfect implementation of an undesirable design is just as undesirable
as a buggy implementation of the same design.  It is a change that we do
not want to have in the system.

As to this particular proposed change to commit everything only when there
is no change between the index and the HEAD, I think it is a bad change.
As several people have already said, it adds unnecessary complexity to the
end user's mental model.
