That doesn't matter: you still did something unilaterally instead of
first asking if that is okay with me and others.

No matter how much you are annoyed by failing to get an agreement, it
doesn't mean you should do things unilaterally. There's nothing
wrong, in principle, in the fact that I object to something ``so
stridently''; others, yourself included, are known to use the same
practices on many occasions. AFIR, no one has as yet committed a
patch over your objections in such a situation. I request that you do
the same here and in similar cases in the future.
