Nothing is as easy as it looks. You have to patch software, patch
documentation, patch translations and test them. All deviations from
upstream carry risks. Then there would be differences between upstream
and some distributions. Users who have to deal with multiple
distributions have to deal with these differences.
If there is a change required, talk within the upstream community or
have a real discussion with the package maintainers and try to convince
them instead of pointless voting in the development mailing list (which
is far from representative of a regular user base, would make them feel
forced). If the maintainers have agreed to a vote, then fine. If not, it
makes no difference and just wastes time. Don't do it. It just provides
false hope and leads to more disappointment. Not worth it, for a easily
changed setting.
