Please take a step back, breathe, and remember that people on the policy
team probably have good intentions when doing their work.

For what it's worth, I think Bill made the right choice in reverting the
change and trying to find a variant that had consensus.  I don't think
he acted improperly.

Meanwhile I think you were acting in good faith in applying the change
in the first place.  Sometimes the presence or lack of consensus can
be hard to pin down.  But I think the menu system patch needed work,
people had said as much, and the work in setting policy in that area
wasn't done yet.

Thanks,
Jonathan
