Zachary, I appreciate your dislike of the idea.  And I have totally modified my 
approach to this to minimize its impact so that it is a no-op for everyone 
else.  And I am happy to remove this when we have an alternative to not require 
swig.

You are being obstructionist if you go with that statement.  You are not 
impacted by this change, so attempting to shoot it down based on you not liking 
it for reasons that your team doesn't care about is not a position that makes 
sense.  If I was forcing you to do something different, then we have something 
to work through if it caused undue harm.  When I need to get something done, 
and I'm tweaking it a lot to appease you, and you still come back with "no, I 
don't like this so, even though I'm not the one who has a requirement for it, 
I'm going to say I don't want it" seems counter to an supporting multiple 
groups with different objectives in the same source base.
