I don't. Considering intent imo is important. David (and you?) is
basically saying "screw it, you voted for that person, you aren't
allowed to have an opinion anymore", and that's way outside of what I
consider acceptable. So, because you think it doesn't make sense to
view renaming pg_xlog vs pg_wal as separate from a global s/xlog/wal/,
nobody else can have that position. And on top of that David's
underlying that argument with a metaphor that basically implies the
other party is getting screwed over. Sorry, that's not the way I want
decisions to be made here.
