People don't write email saying "Dammit! Why can't you make evolution
work exactly the way it already does?! How the @#$!@ am I supposed to
used this thing when it does precisely what I want it to?!" It's
possible that there were thousands of people happy with the old behavior
and just a handful who wanted it the new way.

Can one of those I-don't-like-the-1.0.x-way people out there explain
what was wrong with it for them? The 1.0.x way sounds like it makes a
lot more sense to me... (If someone sends mail to you something com, why
do you want the reply to come from you something-else com? Unless you
don't ever want to send mail from you something com, in which case, why
not just claim that you something-else com is the email address for that
identity?)
