So you are trading one use case for another. With a change that is not
perfect as you yourself told us.
In any case this fix causes no harm and fixes an annoying problem
that
has been in the config scripts for a couple of years.
Your change changes the order of the RC scripts in a non-trivial
fashion. It is pretty obvious that you don't care what everyone else
is
thinking as long as your pet problem is solved. *That* is what the
complain is about.
