First, let's not put words in my mouth. 👍

Second, filtering types of data is objectively removing a feature. Filters are objectively negative things. Not in the "oh my feelings way", they often have positive effects, but they are negative features.

Often times, removing features is a good thing. Especially if it is unused, broken or unwanted.

Since this is not a consensus change, it should be noted that we have time to evaluate the damage and reverse it. We can all switch to knots or do something else if it has negative effects.

I know it's not that simple, but when shit is hitting the fan, that's when people get serious.
