I mean, Elaine sounds a bit pissed off, but I'm not really surprised when she gets her project whipped from under her feet. Never mind that it's not been updated for a while - surely we should respect her 'ownership' of that corner and work to get co-editing facilities of it in some way, much like when Michael gave out commit bits for the Test::More code to a choice group of interested individuals some time ago. This kind of thing happens all the time, it's called co-operation. I don't see why we have to trash the old stuff, just because certain people have positions of power and can (ab-)use it to side-step the issue.
