   @squalou: I understand your anger, as I am also not quite pleased with the stale bot's rather aggressive closing policy.
   However, please keep in mind that this is a non-commercial Open Source project. You don't pay anything and nobody owes you anything. The software is delivered "as is" and you may use it or not. You can even contribute or not.
   
   Regarding your issue:
   Handling and displaying NULL values is always challenging and there is no best practice that would fit all different users and audiences.
   Not displaying anything may be useful for many non technical users. However, the more versed users may want to distinguish NULL values, i.e. non-existent values from, e.g. empty strings or whitespace-only values.
   In my eyes, this is a design decision and I suppose that you will probably find a discussion on this topic associated with the pull request that caused the change in behaviour.
