I realise that's unfortunate, but it can take time for people to notice
changes and/or see an opportunity to comment on it. I honestly thought this
was an Ubuntu misthink. :-)

(Additionally, we should absolutely be willing to go back on changes we make
during the development cycle, otherwise we won't ever be bold enough to try
out crazy things with the knowledge that we can revert if needs be. So I can
understand your frustration, but it's not very different to other situations
we should be prepared to handle.)
