Yes, and it does not contain any deadlines at all (not even the one |
| 11 |
announced on the mailing list). |

There are bugs that have been open for years. If suddenly making some |
| 14 |
change breaks end-user systems the fact that a bug has been open for |
| 15 |
years isn't really justification. |

The first mention of "you must do this by this date" was on Friday, |
| 18 |
with the deadline being today. |

I'm fine with trying to push things through within reason (otherwise |
| 21 |
nothing gets done). However, the key part is "within reason." If |
| 22 |
that bug had a deadline announced two weeks ago I'd be less concerned. |
