My assertion is that none of the refactorings in the 3.0 release bring a benefit to the community. I did not imply that the entire 3.0 release is void of improvements.

The nuance escapes me, but I'm sorry to put words in your mouth.

I'm still interested in any countervailing opinions on this particular detail.

But it (presumably) brings benefits to the authors. Sometimes you need to cut the zipties and install the air filter properly...
