While I fully agree with your complains and also think that Robert
should really be more careful in the future I also think that we all
do mistakes and learn from them.
He has been very active and tries to make things go fast (as I also do
mistakenly sometimes) however this doesn't justify his commit right
removal.
Mistakes are far from usual misbehaviour and I'm sure Robert will do
his best to avoid this to happen again. Am I right Robert?
