Andrey,

If the fallout from your changes broke a bunch of things in
-current, then we can expect the fallout in -stable to be
even worse.

Your query about bug reports is a straw man as anticipating
a lot of fallout which has already occured does not require
that I actually have a bug report.

The end result is more users being bitten because a discussion
regarding this has obviously not taken place.

And yes, you're being a jerk. :)

-Alfred
