Erm, wait.  Let me be sure I've got this straight...

So you prepared this patch 3 or 4 days ago, for a problem you've known about
for nearly a week, but didn't bother telling me about it until *after* you'd
uploaded the package to t-p-u today?

And currently, the state of deep freeze we are in means translation updates
supposedly aren't eligible for unblock requests anymore anyhow?


So what exactly does this NMU achieve, beside a glaring lack of communication
and proper process, and inventing the stunning new concept of -3 day NMUs?

<imagine a string of harsh expletives and a broomstick here>


Please don't ever do this again without talking to me first.
Surprises like this aren't helpful, and ignore the fact there may be^W^W are
other patches which should be considered for a stable update under more
relaxed rules than the current deep freeze state.
