Don't get me wrong: I was ready to roll out every change.  Or even not
to commit the merge.  That's why I asked first, three months ago.

But having received a "go ahead" and having release five versions
without even a *slight hint* that my decision was questionable is
frustrating at best.

If even a single mail saying "we'll keep it in check and decide later"
would have been useful: I would have kept a finger on the trigger.  Now
it looks like I did something wrong because I merged a utility without
the consent of the community - and that makes me look I'm stupid.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
