That's so good to hear! Made my day, if not the whole week! Speaks tons about
the community we have on this project!

It's all about trusting the developers to do what's the best for the project
without hanging out high and dry in some obvious cases.

And that again falls back to the point of trusting the judgement of your peers
to do the "right thing" and come forward with the discussion before making the
changes that are questionable or contraversial. And we won't know if it works
