One, to reiterate, the patch at hand is a useability improvement, protecting
new users from
the byzantine distinction of primary/secondary, and preserving the distinction
internally for backwards compatibility. Some have argued keeping the internal
distinction makes the patch unworthy of the risk, to which I am sympathetic.
Two, with mild effort, I could fully eliminate the distinction without user
guidance or manually rewriting newsrcs. Such a change exacerbates risk.
