And just to beat a counter argument to the punch, mods are not an answer to this issue.

For the most part, people quarrel with this situation because it gives the notion that SE won't agree to see eye to eye about the changes we want to the models and many are well aware about the technical difficulty involved. At the least people would be more complicit with "never" as an answer to the demand for a rear-end buff rather than this needing to be a reoccurring discussion with no answer.

Additionally some people prefer not to use mods as it creates a disconnect between what you see and what everyone else sees. It's not the answer for everyone on top of breaking a rule or three.
