Thank you for your kind words. That's very useful.

And you believe this is ok?

Suppose that the developer had an "inkling" to bundle not 7 fonts, but 70, or
700. Still ok? How about if they committed some bug in the app startup code
that makes it crash. Still ok?

So, you're saying nothing is ever reverted and no non-code is ever excised?

Which is it? Peer review, or doers decide?

If "doers decide" - what if a does make a mistake?

If it's peer review - where was the review of this bundling?

I shouldn't have even had to file this bug. It was just a rash commit which
should have been backed out when people noticed it. The fact that it gets as
far as a long discussion on Bugzilla is itself testament to a problem other
than the (honest I believe) mistake.
