Seems like that would have meant a potentially very late commit to avoid
having a broken (for some value of broken anyway) point release (either
with new code, or with reverting the timezone changes previously
committed), which isn't great either.

In general, I agree with you, and we should try to give everyone time to
discuss when something is controversial, but this seems like it was at
least a bit of a tough call.

Thanks,
