 Replying to [comment:10 deryni]:
 > No, a patch that simply reverts the change would not be accepted. If you
 want to pick a more eye-catching blue you are welcome to do so. Though
 ideally the patch would implement the configurability bit and not just a
 color change. You can also of course just suggest a new blue in a comment
 if you want to.

 Half a dozen people I know have refrained from submitting this as a bug
 because I told them it was already submitted.  You've made it more
 accessible to a tiny fraction of your users and less accessible to the
 majority.  I'll just tell all those folks this bug is closed and let them
 come submit theirs.  I'm not saying it has to be red; I'm just telling you
 that a number of people find the new change makes the feature unusable for
 them, and a solution should be found besides "screw you guys, it's better
 for this other guy who complained".

 I know two other people who are not upgrading to 2.3 because of this,
 waiting for me to report what's going on.  Should I suggest they not
 bother, or suggest they file bugs?  You made a change that made the
 product less usable for your users.  Your intentions were good, but your
 approach has a flaw you didn't notice in testing.  Around here we'd
 consider the new bug we introduced to be at least as important as the old
 one we fixed, especially if it inconvenienced a larger audience than the
 old one.
