I would like to add, that even though I have a differing opinion than
Asa on this discussion, I was quite horrified to see the number of
violent demands that came out over a proposed change in a piece of
software. None of that was professional or in anyway the right way to
behave, even online. That exact attitude is what makes people not want
to listen to you. If you find yourself wanting to kill someone because
of a software change in a browser, maybe you need to go for a long
trip in the mountains with no computers or electronic devices besides
a GPS, and see there is a real world out there. Keep this discussion
serious and professional. As Alex said, attack things, not people.
