Quite frankly, if I could undo everything you and certain others have done in the project without having to resolve innumerable dependencies and invest an enormous amount of time... well that would be tempting.

There are always other ways to move forward...
I'm sure all of the committers have felt the same way at one time or another. Fortunately for the project, no single person is in charge.
