To toss in my bit (although it's really more anecdote than philosophy): Years ago, I recall a strong devotion to purity of concept amongst core 9front developers. They didn't want to make changes for change's sake. I'm still amused/confused that 9fans at that time started accusing 9front of exactly what they weren't doing: making changes for change's sake! ;) But in the years since then, some small non-fix changes have been made.
