Why exactly is the square root of sum of squares used when manually increasing weight or the difference in case of decreasing? I was pretty confused when I noticed that and was wondering what are the reasons behind that decision. Issue #189 is when it was first introduced, but I haven't seen any explanation about it. Personally I would prefer if it was linear, so I could choose the exact amount I want to change it by to just move one entry behind a different one. Although just a note in --help describing this behaviour would be good enough.
