I understand and I agree.

I agree with that, too, but I can't make other people do things they
don't want to do, and then there's the question of time.  On the basis
of previous experience, there is going to be little appetite for
holding up the release to address this issue no matter how badly
busted it is.  Ultimately, it's the RMT that must decide what to do in
cases like this.  I have confidence that they are watching this
thread, but I don't know what they will decide to do about it.
