So now after the "good balance", you bring up the "Change" with a capital 
'C' (plagiarized from Barack Obama). Can you please cut down on the 
buzzword-loaden rhetoric bullshit?

No, sorry, change is not always for the good. Statistically, a random change 
has 50% probability of not being an improvement. So somebody opposing one 
particular change is not necessarily a change-phobic luddite. You need to 
convince us that the proposal you defend actually makes things better, not 
just different, and I'm not convinced at all (in fact I'm actually convinced 
that it makes things worse), sorry.
