I’m posting here because Keats pointed me to this thread after I posted to a different thread: Request to add section.date and section.updated
When I read this thread, I see there is a strong case that one abstraction is simpler, more flexible, and easier to explain in comparison to the current state of affairs.
I recognize there is a transition cost (in terms of both code and documentation). So, in my opinion, the main questions in play are: “is this worth the effort, now?” and “if not, when?” and “who wants to put in the effort to make the change?”.
