It is a general project design decision.

If you want to change that, fine, propose it and let's discuss that on its
own merit. But right now this is how the project works. You can't change
that without changing official project policy.

I'm fundamentally against it, and as such I'm against the patch. I
understand why you want it, but I don't think that's sufficient reason.

And this is a CoC [1] violation, please don't do that again.
