Re: What modifications are necessary to create a fork that re-enables the home button

I would argue they aren't even erring on the side of user-friendliness, since so many users are so opposed to the loss of functionality, which is only justified by a handful of people who think the feature is pointless.

This is a loss of functionality as well as a reduction in user-friendliness. The simple fact is that Rhodium phones have redundant buttons. Recasting one of them confuses nobody.

Heck, arguments could be made that power and recent programs go hand in hand. Just look at desktop PCs and Ctrl-Alt-Delete. A well-established key combo that was originally a soft reset, but evolved in some instances to provide access to the Task Manager. If desktop Windows already established, natively, a connection between running programs and power control, then this very loose argument of mine can do the same, and you can classify the backlight key as Home.
