I also didn't need your "lecture" - I've been around long enough on
these trees (let's see... like since FC1 was still called an RHL beta)
to know the score here. Just because the development tree becomes
unstable doesn't mean it shouldn't be brought up.

Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Report an
