The draft is a draft. The code undoubtedly has bugs. The best way to proceed is via discussion. Effective open source projects tend to work in one of two modes. One is to require extensive discussion and review before commits. The other is to trust that people will not take unilateral action such as the one that you did this morning. The only way the second approach works in the long run is if uncooperative actions are dealt with quickly and decisively. Your status on the Feed Validator is now "patches welcome". - Sam Ruby
