I find the timing of this highly irregular.

There is no pressing need to remove SFC at this point in time -- in fact
we have a ready-to-ship release and we are almost two weeks late doing that.

Furthermore doing so will expend engineering resources -- something that
we are sorely in need of.

I find 'right away' without directly addressing committers highly
aggressive -- we usually give people *at least* two full business days
to get back to us. And when we did, it was under direst of circumstances.

I am not finding any justification for this move in Sodium.

If it were to be done, it should have been done at Final Checkpoint.
That ship has sailed when we selected the release candidate build, which
does include SFC.

It is a fair ask for Magnesium, though.

Regards,
Robert
