Mike, |
22 |
To be perfectly blunt, no small part of what caused this current fiasco |
23 |
was this exact attitude. I don't like the current policy either, it's |
24 |
far too wide. However, if you go back and look at why it even *got* to |
25 |
council, it was because you (and others), decided that they weren't |
26 |
going to give any regard to the requests of some of their fellow devs |
27 |
about ChangeLogging removals. You and I both know that a removal can |
28 |
(and sometimes does) cause breakage. These kinds of changes are things |
29 |
that your fellow devs (as well as many users) would like to see in |
30 |
ChangeLogs. I do *not* think that this is an unreasonable request. I |
31 |
find it to be a little.. inconsiderate I guess, when any developer fails |
32 |
to heed a reasonable request from another developer or user. I know I |
33 |
personally try to accommodate people if they ask me to do something |
34 |
slightly differently to make their lives easier. Why is it that you |
35 |
can't do that? Is running echangelog (or hell, scripting something) for |
36 |
a removal really that hard or undesirable? Can you really not spare the |
37 |
extra 10 seconds? I mean, come on. |
38 |
|

Regards, |
