It's my job to weigh the developers arguments and make a decision when they
do not generate a clear consensus on their own. Note that my original proposal
was to tell the CD vendor to take a hike, and I was convinced by developer
argument to make changes to accomodate the CD vendor.

I wasn't calling, although I can see why others are offended. It's not what
they were saying but the way they were saying it.
