Then that's a lousy reason to make it configurable. Having a
configuration option means "we think some people only want to strip
small signatures, but other people want to strip large signatures too,
so you can decide".

What you're arguing for is "it shouldn't be based on the number of
lines, you just need to have a smarter algorithm"
