I do not care who is right or wrong here, this is becoming a pissing competition. Things like these are better handled with personal e-mail and escallating through the proper channels rather than public floggings. We would like to foster a friendly environment here, not one where people are afraid to commit code because they will be yelled at.
i don't see the problem here or anyone yelling. marc, a new developer, commited something without any approved from his mentors, and a mentor asked him about it. that seems like the right thing has occured to me. incidentially, i actually did object to this change on ICB last night but i was off to bed and didn't feel like arguing at the time. i didn't expect to see it commited straight away. so marc's claim that it did not get any objections is infact not entirely right. .mrg.
