IMO, at least, my argument was logically reasoned, not "I'm right
because I'm right". If you disagree with me, at least explain why, so I
can learn from experience and avoid producing arguments that people
misinterpret as "I'm right because I'm right" in the future.

Other people had voiced serious objections to the *timing* of the
change, that is true. However, objections to the change itself had been
raised only by you, and I had replied presenting counter-arguments.
We had a RC that needed rolling, and I had the choice between merging,
and producing an RC that you _might_ decide to object to, or not
merging, resulting in an RC that I would _definitely_ object to.
If you wish to call for 1.4.0 final to be delayed whilst this point is
pursued, please do so - it is what I would have done had the change
_not_ been merged.

I plead innocent to these charges.
If you come to the Summit, perhaps we can attempt to clear the air, there.
