Thanks for your thoughts Duncan, they are appreciated.

I believe that what's being missed here is arguing for or against the
rule, or even taking time to try and understand it, is far more costly
than simply following it if it is enabled or ignoring it if it is not
enabled.

I don't think any of us want to be project historians, so we should
just make sure to have a good commit message when we turn it on or off,
and otherwise move forward with the actual development of OpenStack.
