and everybody is happy (apart from confused ones

there are some problems with this, first the backwards compatibility problem, it would be necessary to have a property to choose if you want to use the sketch given dimensions or the hole tool given dimension and the property has to default to using the hole tool dimension or have a function to assign the behavior to the objects that don't have that property, otherwise all old models will break.
Second, what about a sketch that has circles and points in it?
Third, what about when the circles in the sketch have different sizes? I'm not sure if defining different sized holes in the same feature is a good idea so if it is even implemented I think it should default to the old behavior.
IMO it's better to keep things simple and keep the hole tool working as it does right now but add the possibility of defining the hole center with points.
