I know this is intended to be tongue in cheek, but I have a dev in the
dotnet herd who's really pretty upset right now as a result of such
apparently scathing comments accusing him of being an evil conspirator,
a wrecker, and traitor, when it wasn't even *him* who introduced the
keywords in question, he did a by the book bump moving arch -> ~arch for
all arches listed in keywords.
I understand that this is a consistent problem, and that we constantly
have to deal with breakages like this, but please don't send emails
like this with so many accusations without at least talking to the herd
lead, or viewing CVS history first.
I like dealing with the mess of pissed off and enflamed developers as
much as the arch teams like dealing with bad QA, so next time, please
use at least a *little* subtlty before blowing things up.
Anyway, I'm glad all the arch teams, who are the one's that never screw
up and save us all, are fixing things.
