I'm not sure what "long history" is being referred to here. There have been other occasions where your commit breaks code and I have pointed it out to you - the same as I do for any other committers/commits. I have answered your questions ever since the first commit message appeared. I have done everything I can to explain to you how the code works and why. I have explained to you why your change was not necessary - and others have too. >From my perspective, there is no need for me to provide a business need for >the original design.

Requiring me to provide a "business need" for this developer's tool makes no more sense than requiring it for the framework/base component. The bottom line is, you made a change that wasn't necessary. Three PMC members have asked you to revert it. If I was in your situation, I would revert it - to demonstrate a spirit of cooperation and community support. -Adrian
