Well, we're not here to deliberate about people's taste in FHS silliness 
manner. FHS, being standard de-facto, following the definition of the word 
"standard" as something accepted by majority and thus promised to be 
respected. Not justified standard violations or justified by "I don't like it" 
or "It's silly" should be repressed and some good standards should be 
explicitly forced in my opinion. Otherwise, inconsistency will create the feel 
of mess. I believe we can agree on this.
