The sentence has the underlying assumption that explosions will be
ignored regardless of whether they are. If you really believe that,
then you would be advocating avoding explosions instead of encouraging
them.  But instead you are advocating that explosions are prefectly
acceptable downstream in an effort to make downstream maintainers do
your bidding. That's not going to work.

Prove to me that the complaints about the terminal represent a large
contingent of fedora's userbase.  I claim you and everyone else in
this thread represent a vocal minority of the fedora userbase as well
as the gnome userbase more generally. Prove me wrong.
If you want to show gnome developers there is a "large" contigent of
the gnome userbase who have the same complaint.. drive it
upstream..with organized numbers that can actually be considered
"large" across distributions.  I look forward to signing your
petition.
