Upstream projects making UI changes without consulting ME? I’m a human
being, god-dammit! My life has value! I'm mad as hell, and I'm not
going to take this anymore!
In all seriousness, thanks to the upstream developers and WMF ops
folks for their continued hard work.

Forwarding an announcement. Feedback can go to Alexandros, who may or
may not be subscribed to a mailing list where you see this email, so
if you have something to say on list you may also want to include
Alexandros' email address in the to: field. (By the way, on one
previous occasion I saw a small number of highly hostile messages
being directed at WMF staff regarding a UI change that I thought was
reasonable. If you are a community member and something about this UI
change upsets you, please vent to me first and then after you have
finished venting you can send a calmer version of your message to
Alexandros.)
I appreciate the offer made here by Pine to give you a way to
initially calm down, but if you do feel the need to vent about a UI
change done by an unaffiliated upstream project, please DO NOT vent
even calmly at Alexandros or anyone else on the Wikimedia Foundation's
SRE team or employed by the Wikimedia Foundation generally. Please
open your nearest window and share your complaints with the clouds in
the sky. They will be happy for the attention.
