Maybe I want to continue to believe that the Ruby community is special
- at least in some ways (for example, because it does not need
moderation).  You might call that "romantic" (which I believe I am
generally not) but you would have to concede that it has worked out
remarkably good for the longest time.  If you argue with a recent
hiccup in favor of getting rid of a tradition then this is a weak
argument in my eyes.

Kind regards
