It's all a bunch of unnecessary bullshit. They should have just left it the fuck alone. People could change it if they really wanted to. I haven't seen a compelling reason that justifies all the noise.

What isn't? I said several things.
1. I don't think all the noise is necessary either way.
2. Forcing the issue seems pointless since it was just a default. People can change it to whatever they want if it's an option. If there's really no point in a limit then just remove it. Otherwise, it all seems arbitrary to me. (Is this where we disagree?)
3. I haven't seen a compelling reason to make such a fuss over the default. I don't think this is an existential crisis for Bitcoin.
What are we disagreeing on?
Thanks for the link. I'm not technically involved enough to hold a strong opinion either way. On the surface it all seems arbitrary to me as a user. I don't think it's going to kill Bitcoin either way. I generally agree with some points on each side from the user perspective. I also think everyone having an opinion on technical issues produces a fruitless argument with a ton of noise.
I'm happy to be wrong if this whole thing really was worth all the bullshit. I'll give that a read.
I read through it and understood and concluded with the following (to help you out, but still read through the post yourself of course):
