It's faster paced and trees revert. The message specifically was a ping for objection and I was waiting for further response and would have waited until early next week (and written another "applied" message which would be another chance to veto). And even if that isn't enough for whatever reason and you or anyone else object it afterwards, it'll get reverted / reouted differently / whatever. As for subsystem boundary, at least I cross them and let others cross if the changes aren't significant and the proposed changes are likely to be be used only in that tree for the devel window. The timer change seems borderline to me. It isn't trivial but doesn't seem all that invasive to me. I don't think any critical protocol is breached here. If you're upset about the style of the ping, I apologize. I'll try to be more sensitive when pinging you.
