Are you claiming that you weren't aware of Carlos' objection, or that
it wasn't valid since it wasn't directly in reply to your proposal? Or
did you ignore it because you decided a straight revert wasn't a
"replacement of the original joke"?
I find the suggestion that people should reply directly to your
proposal to be somewhat disingenuous given that you didn't submit the
patch to the mailing list before committing it.
