"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.
