All I'm trying to tell you is that there is nothing to adjust. FSU can't just flip a switch and have bloom react as it used to. We have better nebulas, we no longer carry our own shaders, our post processing table is a little different now, etc.
You are asking us to go on a witch hunt to change something that anyone who dislikes can change by typing a number in the launcher because you think we can just 'revert back'. It doesn't work like that. You are missing a fundamental understanding the whole system.
As for this 'harmony' you are speaking of. It's not like FSU and SCP have meetings about how best to upgrade FS for each release cycle. SCP pretty well does their own thing irregardless of FSU unless we ask for any specific feature. We then just take the released execs and use the features builtin to upgrade the canon FS ships, missions, and effects. That's all there is to it.
If you are so worried about the average user who can't change the commandline (a user group, that I suspect is closer to myth than reality anyway), go to SCP with Axem's support and ask them to alter the default value in the exec. But please stop implying that the MediaVPs are refusing to 'fix it', because there's nothing to fix in the modpack that will directly result in a revert to previous bloom values doing exactly what they did in 3612.
