   I do not care who is right or wrong here, this is becoming a pissing
   competition. Things like these are better handled with personal e-mail
   and escallating through the proper channels rather than public floggings.
   
   We would like to foster a friendly environment here, not one where people
   are afraid to commit code because they will be yelled at.


i don't see the problem here or anyone yelling.

marc, a new developer, commited something without any approved from
his mentors, and a mentor asked him about it.  that seems like the
right thing has occured to me.


incidentially, i actually did object to this change on ICB last night
but i was off to bed and didn't feel like arguing at the time.  i
didn't expect to see it commited straight away.  so marc's claim that
it did not get any objections is infact not entirely right.
