Niclas,

Apologies if I have missed some context.

Piotr is the release manager here, I am not sure why your email is directed
towards Alex?

Quoting Alex:  "But given they don't look right in US Windows systems, unless
there is an easy workaround, it might be a good idea to fix this issue in
another RC."

As you can see in this thread, we are trying to figure out where the source
package gets messed up and we are trying to fix it.  While your input is
appreciated, I think your tone is a bit confrontational.

Thanks,
Om
