... well that's a constructive way of going about it. I don't think Yasuo did anything harmful or rude in making his proposal. Regardless of how realistic the idea may be, I don't think its ever appropriate or constructive to tell someone to simply "stop" because something "is just ridiculous".

It's a bit of a crotchety answer, yes, but at this stage pretty much everything has already been said (a) in this thread, and (b) in similar threads every few months going back as long as I've been subscribed to the list, and undoubtedly for a long time before that. If Rasmus has seen this conversation several times a year for the last 20 years, with the same conclusions every time, I don't blame him for being a bit tired of it. There have been some alternatives suggested - come up with a change with a compelling advantage rather than tweaking the names - so if you're looking for something constructive, help move those ideas forward, rather than flogging the dead horse.
