We need to talk about that.
Independently of whether or not I made the right decision, your decision
to check in the patch undermined the process. Rather than convincing me
I was in error, or developing a wider consensus that I was in fact in
error, you chose to act preemptively. Meanwhile, Dan Jacobowitz and
David Edelsohn were spending time trying to develop that wider
consensus, and I was devoting time to responding and investigating.
That time was wasted, since you were not willing to wait for the result.
I'm glad that nothing broke, and it would serve no purpose to revert the
patch, especially given that there's a lot of evidence I made the wrong
call in the first place. I admire your work, and I'm grateful for and
impressed by the cleanups you've made over the years. However, I think
that this was an inappropriate action on your part. I'd appreciate your
assurance that you will not take this kind of preemptive action again.
