I'm not sure who decided to move the stars to the left when it would be a lot less churn to move them all to the right, or just leave them where they are since the current rule is based on prevalence. See bug 1546364 comment #30 and above. If at all, this should have been done at the end of the 78 cycle, like the other reformatting was done at the end of the 68 cycle. There is a religious war going on about where to put the stars and I see no benefit in taking sides.

Apparently what can be used to ignore this changeset in the blame.
