Quote of the week

Remember folks, "Why wasn't I consulted?!?!?!?" is one of the more obnoxious behavours we can inflict on fellow open source maintainers giving us the gift of their time and energy. If we're putting folks at risk of losing data or otherwise having their systems compromised, then by all means yell loudly, but for anything less, remember:

* it's almost certainly not urgent

* tolerating the occasional design decision we dislike won't ruin our lives

* a red bikeshed will still shelter our bikes, even if we'd have preferred blue

* it's just software, so we can put a blue wrapper around the red bikeshed if we prefer it
