I didn't say they were. But if I *did* misbehave -- well, I could
hardly be surprised by the inevitable consequences, could I? Doesn't
take a genius to predict those consequences, either.
Misbehavior is characterized by intent and subsequent acceptance of
responsibility. If someone commits a change which de-stabilizes the
software, then they should expect to take responsibility for the
clean-up. Likewise, committing a change which will knowingly
de-stabilize the software is harmful, unless there is a plan made in
advance for how the issue will soon be rectified. Sometimes temporary
instability is ok because the end justifies the means.
