Well, the mix is indeed the problem!

It's on purpose, because that's the problem, not because I'm acting out
of malice (ie: with an "agenda" that I need to "press") to annoy you.
Except yourself, and for obvious reasons which you already mentioned, I
haven't seen any opposition to the proposal.

Norbert, I'm very annoyed by your wording. "Having an agenda" reads like
if I was writing out of malice, on purpose, just to annoy you. That is
not the case. I just happen to have a different view on things. It's
been told to you many times, your choice of words looks very aggressive
to others, and it'd be nice if that changed.

Reality is that you have no such opinion, you are just (rightly) pissed
by the recent event around your account being revoked, then reinstalled.
Also, this has to do with the foo-guest -> foo (and the other way around
in your case), which needs to be fixed anyways. So this is IMO not
relevant at all here.
