Yes. If it were anybody but Simon, we wouldn't be spending a lot of
time on it; we'd just say "sorry, this has to wait for 9.2" and that
would be the end of it. As things stand, we have to convince him not to
commit these things ... or else be prepared to fight a war over whether
to revert them, which will be even more time-consuming and
trust-destroying.
