I never provided a solution because I do not have one on top of my head.
Since I did not introduce the feature nor did I merge it, I have no moral

This is not funny. I am rather fed up with people introducing new features 
without proper design and then relying on Laurent or I to clean after them (or 
simply not caring at all).
