This is exactly how I felt. I knew that what I was doing was correct, even
if it wasn't the same as what you had, and you would fix it up when you
had the chance. However, I had no case to set a precedent of what to do;
last time vinum was broken for a long time because phk's changes didn't get
reviewed for a while; he didn't want things to go wrong, so he didn't commit
it. This was simpler, but I didn't want to do things that are wrong.
