Why not, exactly?
I wasn't aware that any of core had a non-vetoable right to apply
any patch we liked regardless of the number and strength of the
objections. AFAIK, we resolve differences of opinion by discussion,
followed by a vote if the discussion doesn't produce a consensus.
It was pretty clear that Thomas' original patch lost the vote, or
would have lost if we'd bothered to hold a formal vote. I don't
see anyone arguing against the notion of making XLOG location more
easily configurable --- it was just the notion of making it depend
on environment variables that scared people.
