Ugh. It only came a day late, and if you had pushed a bit harder, I'd
have pulled it. But when you put it that way, I really cannot see any
valid reason why it cannot wait, and so I think I'll just expect it
for the next release.

If you change your mind and realize that it fixes some major bug and
really needs to be pulled after all, holler.
