"I don't like your answer, so I will ignore it" is not a justification
either.  It's kindergarden behavior and beneath the dignity of a FreeBSD
committer.

The fact that this rule was instituted 15 years ago does not
automatically invalidate it, and neither does the fact that Joe Random
Committer disagrees with it.
