While there's surely little reason to do that anymore, I think the
blast radius of such a change will be vastly greater than is warranted
by aesthetics.  It's not only our code that will be affected --- I'm
pretty sure there is a great deal of replication tooling out there
that this will break.  Don't expect me to defend you from the
villagers with pitchforks.
