No, it's useful feedback, but there are constraints on the solution:

1. Don't remove support for the line number in place of zero entirely
2. No new options specifically to control this feature

Personally I thought Bram pulled the trigger on than absolute line number thing before consensus was reached on how it should work. But patches speak louder than words either way.

I like the proposal by "glts" myself:
