Comment 55 for bug 389176

This has been debated to death already. I believe the concensus (with a
small minority of dissenters) is to keep the functionality unchanged.

This bug should be closed as invalid, since it's definitely not a paper cut,
since it's not even a UI bug, but a functionality change wish.
