I seems obvious that readability of code-at-HEAD should be of a higher priority than the readability of the commit history; the extant code will be read many more times than the the commit history for the same piece of code.

The description of this change doesn't claim that there is a change in behavior here; is there documentation that requires all changes to have functional changes?

As I understand it, the process is not prescriptive about reviews being required. I see many changes (particularly in this area) that have gone in without review. In this case, I tried to follow "due process", but received no engagement whatsoever. Is filibustering an accepted practice?
