We could further evaluate those diffs for quality and also to ask
what the practical impact for users was (other than shoving *me*
aside).   Alfred might come out pretty well, in that light.

You wanna talk about "get over it", James?  Let's do then.  
Get over it: you and canonical as a whole did harm to me
and the community.  Mark gave you poorly designed incentives
which, in quite un-engineer-like fasion, you bit.  Your company
is full of shit when it paints itself as a friend of the community.
Own it.
