If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

Repeated for emphasis: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

There are two dozen different desktops for Linux - and even those one might expect to remain constant have a habit of changing between releases - what's with the disappearing scroll bars? Where did page-up/down tags go and why?

It's perfectly understandable in an open source world that if you don't like something and you have the ability to change it *to your taste* then do it. Not a problem. But don't assume that the problem exists for everyone, or indeed that others with that problem will like your solution.

Once again: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
