It didn't to anyone else when Peter wrote the current version either, but as
the person willing to actually do the work and write the code Peter got to
make the decision. Nobody else stepped up to do the work to change it and we
can't exactly force Peter to do work he doesn't agree with. The current
version is unquestionably better than what came before where you had to
specify some things in units of Postgres blocks, for example.
