Oh God. Please remove this regression or let me turn it off

[Tom_P]

so what are possible workflows behind this ? what is the need for the transformation-numbers being stored ?
i made a suggestion here:

Wish: named / saved transformations

I would love to see an option, that would allow all commands that do (single / multiple) matrix-based transformations (rotate,mirror,move, shear, array(polar), scale1/2/3, …and some more to save the transformation(s) - so it can be repeated or even combined / inverted. the saved versions should include copy yes / no, and the recall should allow to override this. Maybe this option can be turned on / off in some global settings. Of course the transformations should be saved within the document…

and i thing this would be a very nice general tool / approach to cover most needs.
would love to see your comments on the topic linked above.
