Retitling is a community process, people vote on the consideration.

Yes, but sometimes the community's decisions suck. There have been a few retitling considerations over the last few months that I consider pretty frivolous, despite there having been two calls for a more reasoned approach.

I would like especially to draw attention to borisz's observation: I noticed that the new title is in better english, but did not reflect my question anymore. That's just wrong.

And a janitor may well message you, but what if you are in a different time zone (and thus, asleep), or offline for a day or two?

I think sleepingsquirrel has every right to change the title back. And I suspect that the janitors simply won't bother the second time around. Besides, once the node is off the radar in a few days, the probability of it being further considered rapidly approaches zero.

update: s/dopey/frivolous/ The latter word expresses my opinion on the matter more accurately.
