  I don't get it.  What's the point of this "vote++" thing?  Can you
  people state what your technical arguments are, for a change?  Instead
  of arguing "this should have been done this way and this is not right
  and oh my G-d somebody call the fire department" why don't we sit back
  a little, take a few deep breaths, consider that OK, yes, the change
  should have been posted for review but it was not and now we have to
  decide on what the best approach is, based on TECHNICAL merit.  Yes, I
  agree, it should have probably been given more of a review period but
  what's done is done so instead of backing out something that you may
  just end up recommitting anyway, tell us why you think it's
  technically wrong.

  I think that everyone ought to have the right to argue either case,
  but it has to be a technical discussion.  Stop blindly urging a
  backout when all it may end up doing is bloating the repo even more
  than it already is.
