Eh, I wouldn't say it's a waste of bytes. Conventional Commits are useful for many scenarios.
This metadata could also be added via trailers, but most Git UIs don't show them prominently, or at all. So prefixing the subject is still the way to go.
I’d rather not hack my process around the deficiencies of someone else’s poor UI choices. As long as the data is stored in a powerful, structured format, you can serve that up in any way that’s sensible to you with `git log` and other shell friends.
