What attitude? I am simply stating a fact. How much percentage of
people do you think still have .git/remotes around? How many people do
you think have clones more than 3 years old? And how many of these
people would complain if remotes were not properly completed for these
repos?

I doubt anybody would have complained, but I guess we would never
know, because I already proposed a solution that would work for them
and only uses a *single* line of code, unlike the current 40 ones.

I don't see what is the problem with the attitude of sending a patch
to remove code that most likely nobody cares about (neither you or I
have numbers on this), and then finding an alternative when people do
care about it.

Cheers.
