That's happened to me in the past. My view has generally been that in
that case I have missed my chance, and I need to live with what others
have done. That seems to me preferable to tearing up any pretense we
might have to be following a defined development process.

I should point out that I have already gone out of my way to accommodate
concerns you expressed extremely late about this set of features, and I
have lately indicated another area where we can adjust it to meet your
objections. Re-litigating this wholesale seems quite a different kettle
of fish, however.

Just in case it's not clear: I am not at all happy.
