Yes, he's an adult, but if he's not particularly interested in the change to 
begin with, and the folks who want the change can't agree on what the change 
should be, he could easily choose to leave things as they are - especially 
because things work just fine as they are. We'd like to be able to make a 
particular error harder to make, but it's not exactly a groundbreaking 
change. Walter could decide to work on more important things rather than 
worrying about this one. There's nothing childish about that.
