Comment(by sambrightman):

 "And the hassle is big enough to justify removing it, no matter small is
 such minority."

 Not really: that's what I'm trying to say. The others clearly don't think
 it's a hassle, do they? The developers can't be expected to change the
 software for every minority, no matter the size (*especially* when that
 minority can easily "fix" it themselves). It's a function of amount of
 hassle, size of minority, possible alternatives etc. Would you allow one
 person who was really annoyed by something to have their opinion be more
 important than the other 99.9999%? The size matters, the perspective
 matters.

 As I keep saying, whilst I'm not necessarily against removing it, it
 doesn't hassle me in the slightest, and I can't see how it possible could
 be as big a deal as some make out ("unprofessional"??). Even if there's
 only one person (me) that sees this as unimportant, it doesn't matter the
 size of the minority, right? ;) So leave it in! I love this super-cool
 behaviour! Look, it's simple, all you have to do is not change anything.
 It doesn't matter who disagrees with me! I want the default to be all
 black too. There are lots of people who love all black GUIs. And it saves
 energy. Wasting energy really annoys me and it doesn't fit with our
 corporate green policy, we'll have to stop using Pidgin in our workplace.

 See what I'm trying to say?
