What I tend to notice about this is how easily people seem to fall on both sides of this fence (pun slightly intended). People can be annoyed that a change broke their workflow (why didn't anyone bother to find out if this was in use), while simultaneously pushing to change other things without applying Chesterton's Fence (we should just do ... to solve this problem). Like so many logical constructs, it really just seems to exist so we can apply it when we are frustrated, not in our day to day decision making.
