An essential element of a bike shed disagreement is that the matter being discussed must be trivial. That is, the color of a bike shed doesn't matter. It has no impact on the utility of the bike shed. This is a function before form viewpoint.
Ah, but if real life were only so black & white.
In practice, triviality is a sliding scale. The presence of the offset is only trivial if you're not using it. So, to some people, it's a bike shed issue. To others, it's a matter of breaking lots of code. Clearly not a bike shed.
