Greg,

Don't get me wrong. I agree with the reason to pull it. It is the right 
thing to do. But still, I don't like it, not because I disagree with it, 
but simply, I liked the fact that the document made it in before the code.

I just sold my 1994 Nissan Sentra because I seldom drove it. It was the 
right thing to do. But I still don't like the fact that I don't have it 
anymore.

I don't like it. This is a feeling. Nothing to do with being technical. 
Hence, I will not argue it.  I just want it on record that I do not 
_like_ it. ;-)

My objection was only symbolic.
