A problem here, is that anyone thinks 20 people in an email conversation is
a 'vast majority'. It quite simply is not. So the vast majority *of
WordPress users* have no opinion on this.

Again, "many users" is simply not true in the grand scale of things, and
WordPress *is* on a grand scale.

As has already been pointed out, there is a plugin to turn it off, so no-one
has to edit source thanks to the wonderful thing that is WordPress and it's
auto plugin installation. It is no harder than installing any other plugin,
several of which turn off other filters that are active by default (about
which I see no protracted debates).

As has been pointed out on this thread, WordPress is a trademark, and as
such *must* be actively protected, otherwise the trademark status will be
lost.
