If he resisted for a long time, it makes little sense to say "he 
suddenly switched sides". Reviewing the old thread, it looks like 
Manu's arguments amongst others were convincing that this change 
is worth it.

I have mixed feelings on this topic. I think methods should be 
final by default, but it is late in the day for these kind of 
changes, especially given D's unpleasant history with respect to 
changes.
