When a library has an active maintainer, I think the very least would be to ask the maintainer for such things before doing them, especially if they are undoable. I might be a control freak, but I don't like the idea that someone can play around with a setup that I might have spent several hours setting up and potentially break it. The very least would be to announce such changes on the mailing list, ask for feedback and see if anyone disagrees. Once some agreement has been reached (and I'm not asking for consensus), we could then proceed with the changes.
I have possibly done this change too quickly, and I apologize. The one way I can address your concerns is by saying that this particular change was non-destructive, and that any larger change would certainly be announced more prominently and well in advance. - Volodya -- Vladimir Prus http://vladimirprus.com
