Nothing was ever decided.  Can we please drop this neverending
discussion?  It's the worst bikeshed topic we have, just look at how
many people jump in every time it comes up again and compare to the
amount of code they contribute.

We can discuss this on LinuxTag.  There will be enough devs there to
reach a consensus and given the nature of real life discusssions we will
come to a decision in a limited amount of time.
