I don't think that's a reasonable request. While I understand that you'd
like to keep things as quick and easy as possible--as would I--if I don't ask
why you want things changes, I can't write better formulas in the future.
Also, it's my experience on other projects that I contribute to that if
something can't be justified, it's probably not worth doing. :)

I'm sorry you find this "draining", though, and I'm not sure what to do
about that. (Though frankly, I find Homebrew's micromanagement of its house
style to be equally draining for me when I submit a PR...)
