> Taking well-intended technical suggestions as a personal attack

It cannot be anything else, when "technical suggestions" boil down to
making the job of a fellow developer 1000 times harder for no good
technical reasons, just because of "oh no, not that again" kind of
irrationalities.  The attack could be unintended, but any reasonable
grown-up will realize that this is the result.

The restrictions are minuscule.  In my latest suggestion, rename only
3 *.m4 files, in a way that still keeps descriptive names.  I wonder
how much time will be wasted on bykeshedding that one.

I suggested a compromise solution a few hours ago, which does, I hope,
constitute a change, but have yet to see any response.
