"Indefinitely" is a very long time.

Some time, maybe not very far away, but definitely much sooner than
"indefinitely", I will step down, and someone else will be in charge
of these decisions.  They might make a different decision about this
issue.

My personal preference is to invest energy in adding new features and
improving existing features, rather than in making such insignificant
cleanups.  YMMV.
