I think the point being made was that a lot of people thought this was a 
feature, not a bug.

I assume you're asserting the the dev's did not expect this behaviour, 
even if a large group of users did.

That's OK. But there's still the question about why this behaviour is so 
bad/inconsistent/something that it should be changed. Simply labeling it 
a bug is just a conclusion. Why is it a bug???
