A contraire. Pushing temps into the innermost context in all packages 
*is* forcing them on everyone else. I won't ever argue about changes 
like these if they serve a goal (i.e., some bit of work that you're 
trying to achieve) but making changes specifically for "cosmetic" 
reasons in hundreds of methods deserves at least a bit of agreement 
whether these changes are being seen as worthwhile. Precisely because 
individual preferences differ. I think we do need a bit of agreement in 
the community before we start pushing such wide-ranging cosmetic changes.
