Not only did he assent, but he said MULTIPLE TIMES in multiple
messages that he had decided to wait until 6.0.  I think he even
asked people to stop complaining because he had agreed to wait.

I heard no objections to 5A.  People didn't object to 5B, because
they thought 5A pretty much settled the matter.  Particularly
after tjr said "HEY, I've already agreed to wait!".

bring it back on my account.
