I think this is a very misleading reply. Ignoring the obvious (and quite
unnecessary) use of hyperbole, there are plenty of ways to ensure that code
doesn't remain in the tree forever. I'll list a few of them so that you can
use it as a reference in the event that you have this urge to revert again
in the future:

* Participate in ongoing mailing list discussions
* Open a ticket on the bug tracker
* Engage in discussion on IRC

Your claim that the issue was not solved is also inaccurate. This is
exactly how the symbol is accessed in other parts of the tree, and having
this ability is one of the great benefits of the unified source tree that
we have. Considering that Edje already depends on Efreet for function
calls, the worst that could happen here is that calling edje_init() at some
point in the future causes a crash--something which would be instantly
noticeable since a general efl tree build would then fail.

If you can provide me with a comprehensive list of "things like this" which
bother you when they are committed, I can try to initiate discussion in the
community for future cases.
