My point was that any change tends to polarize (and bolding was actually offered globally for a bit in the same green star period and resoundingly rejected by a large, vocal community contingent, IIRC, which is why it's still an opt-in gadget). Not offering all this as a justification for not making changes, but simply pointing out that the high visibility + power user pushback factor is something that has to be taken into consideration when prioritizing work on a feature like this.
