For native English speakers, these are weasel words. We know what you really meant and it doesn't take a mind reader. Your skill of English far exceeds being able to blame this on a language barrier. Summary: You make it clear that you think the previous commit should have made the extra step to fix the port. I made it clear that I think you shouldn't have have expectations like that and *DEFINITELY* should not have documented those thoughts on a commit message that lasts forever. If that last line wasn't on the commit message, none of this conversion ever would have happened, and if the unpleasantness means that it won't happen again, it was worth it.
