I well understand the technical issues involved.  In my opinion, a
group rename simply will not cause that much trouble.  So some r.m.s
readers say that they are being harmed by a group rename.  Without
taking a stand on their sincerity, I just don't believe it.  Unless
proven otherwise, I must assume that they don't know what they're
talking about.  In other words, the burden of proof is on them.

It's not blind adherence, Dave; that's a straw man.  With my eyes wide
open, I say: the r.m.s vote was good enough.
