Yes.
For the record: Jon talked to one person via Twitter, which is why Tomasz
is complaining about. We also got a *much* larger and more detailed stream

where users are discussing the change. Hence the report in Bugzilla. The
idea that we're just responding to the bug based on one report via Twitter
is untrue and absurd.
