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 of complaints via on-wiki discussion forums, and other sites like Reddit 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.
