One final analysis of this.  If Jan had come to the list and explained
the problem, and suggested adding something to /contrib for 7.0.3, I
think most people would have said OK.

My guess is that many of the negative votes are based on the way this
was handled.  I know I think about how this was handled and get upset
myself.
