Comments
As you can see from the code comments, this is done intentionally for historical purposes. Why did you file this ticket in the first place? |
Because it was reported in Discord and I don't read code comments as a matter of principle (read: it looked like a clear error and I was in a rush to capture it - Simon posted the code snippet in Discord, and I clearly missed the essential point of it!) At the risk of asking... who will the uproar come from? And will it affect more than just where the error gets displayed? |
There's always somebody. Lost count of the number of times I thought "Surely no-one will notice" and then almost the entirety of all global WCA Delegates wanted to book plane tickets to Germany to personally lynch me. |
As you've seen, I'm all for taking user feedback seriously. But (if I'm understanding the situation correctly), it seems like we're keeping an unintuitive behaviour around because some users have gotten used to the unintuitive behaviour. If my understanding is right, I strongly advocate for changing to the intuitive behaviour:
If there is a niche-but-legitimate use case that some users rely on, I'm all for serving the user in that case. But this doesn't seem like such an instance (with my current understanding) |
Should be a pretty easy change
