* His timing did suck
* He's now doing the right thing, at least, instead of committing the
  second patchset without submitting them for peer review
* breaking vinum did suck
* RELENG_4 is a good place to play with vinum fixes too
* You both have committed things that have broken other areas. :-)

This really isn't constructive. I haven't looked at the patchset that
phk has posted up but I think it'd be more useful if people gave
comments about the changes and their usefulness rather than the bickering
going on now.

Please :)
