Well, the community is saying that reason is not good enough.
I think it's fair to ask the package maintainer to reconsider.
Making changes that break years-long traditional behaviour
without community consultation is arrogant at best.
Breaking with tradition created things like OS-X (which fwiw is what
any sane desktop out there today is trying to emulate).
Doing something because "it's always been done like that" is a really
bad reason. Doing something on technical merit and changing when a
better way to do something is found is what I think should be done.
Which tty you run X on I don't really care, as I think the end goal
should be to ditch X and do what OS-X did.
The biggest innovations happened by not following the sheep.
