Agreed. :)

Just to be clear, I'm not upset, and my message probably should have
included explicit text along the line of, "Why was this change so
important that it had to go in before the traditional 2 weeks?"

I have since discovered through other channels that this change was part
of a larger set designed to help us move forward with making apache
version 2 the new default. If I'd have known those 2 facts I would have
prioritized the PR higher, FWIW.

In any case, thank you for your work on this, and I wish those of you
who are working on that project the best of luck. It's difficult work
that is long overdue.

heh, me too .... I'm always amazed at how different cultures have ways
of expressing concepts that are so similar in nature.
