Did a similar discussion happen on the mailing list? If I doesn't
happen on the list, it's just hearsay. (Incidentally, that's why
we're having this discussion on the mailing, rather than in person,
even though we're in the same room.)
I'll readily claim the fault with breaking the tests. All I'm asking
is that in the future such problems are discussed, rather than
reverted out-of-hand. I appreciate you fixing them, but I'd hoped to
learn something from the experience, rather than just having the
problem fixed for me.

For the record, I don't pay any checks to Greg (and he has shouted at
me a number of times).
