I had heard of that decision, even though I am now unable to recall where. I am a bit perplexed by that decision, since it contradicts what has been said and done for ages. I am not sure I understand which new facts emerged, justifying such a dramatic turn of events. Old [consultation] reached the opposite conclusion.
