As much as I find Andrew's methods sometimes too brutal for me, I have
to recognize that I don't remember him deliberately breaking a port
just because he wanted to remove something that has been deprecated.
I think we can trust him in not doing so without discussing it beforehand.
Also, I don't think Andrew is using the "obvious" rule here. The patches
are nowhere near obvious, I agree. He's using the global maintainer
priviledge.
