But the motivation is not "neatness" or "tidying up": it is to avoid future political brouhahas like the ones we've had recently, brouhahas that consume far too much of our time.
I don't understand why it consumed any time at all. The change being requested was literally a one-word change to zone.tab that would have impacted nothing. My theory (and the basis for my perhaps overly strongly worded earlier post calling that original change a blunder) is that it was your pride, since you had made the change that it would have reversed in the first place, but even that is only guesswork.
