Maybe I'm just a moron (well, likely I am), but why are you two 
posting this shit on the dev ml?

Conflict for a change, fine, carlo go revert it. 

Crazy notion, but it's a one minute revert, yes it's not your mess but 
it is your package and _your_ users, leaving your users hanging 
because you're trying to make genstef clean something up screws the 
users over.

The proper forum for crap like this is via taking it up with 
QA/devrel.

Screaming about a change on the ml doesn't accomplish anything more 
then making you look like a jack ass trying to publically embarass 
someone you're pissed at; at least carlo has a reason, stephen you're 
just being an asshole.

Further, Stephen shouldn't even know about a candidates failing, let 
alone go stating it on a public ml.

Really nice one there; someone tries to help, deemed not yet skilled 
enough to have access to the tree, and you're bringing it up as a way 
to take potshots at genstef.

Further, you're taking a potshot at a dev candidate who via going 
through the process was at least *trying* to contribute, even if they 
didn't pass the quiz.

Carlo, go talk to devrel, stephen, go do your monthly mips stabling.
Meanwhile spare us the idiocy, and do something productive.

Screaming on a ml won't solve the conflict, just makes the screamer 
look childish.
