We already heard a few complaints about this.
However, I don't think your argumentation here is correct and fair:
although there was one committer - well, actually there cannot be
more -, this was publicly in discussion on the mailing list, and
no-one disagreed.
Later on during the release cycle of v8.25, the snapshot versions
were also publicly available for broad testing ... and no-one inter-
vened here either.

Who exactly is "we"?

I can only speak for myself: I'm don't really care too much about
what output format is choosen.

Have a nice day,
