Sure.  I understand that.  It was still done without any discussion or
mention to FESCo or rel-eng.  It impacts developers (as should be apparent
from the already long thread on it) and changes like that should at least
get approval before being done.

So, even if FESCo retro-actively approves the change, I'd like to at least
try to actually follow some semblance of process here.
