But "straightforward to discover" is not an advantage in this case.
As long as it comes with documentation that clearly explains why this
feature should not be used blindly in order to avoid diluting the value of
S-o-b, I think the feature itself is not a harmful thing to have. Dscho's
argument in the quoted thread that says it should be a conscious act to
add S-o-b (except for the part he misunderstands what S-o-b attests), is a
good one and still is valid.
By the way, please do not deflect away responses meant to you by using a
Mail-Followup-To header that points at the git mailing list. It is rude.
