The week before quarterly branch is the wrong time to do changes like this,
especially since there's now collateral damage that needs to be mopped up
by many other people who have not planned the time for the work. This is
quite disrespectful of their time and boarders on abuse. Please consider
this more carefully in the future. You do good technical work, but failing
to manage the social aspects of it is causing too much friction of the kind
that (a) can be avoided and (b) tends to drive people away (hence my abuse
comment).

Thank you.
