Yeah, I was a bit hasty there. Sorry.

I'm not saying I'd have done the same if I had been in Till's shoes. I
wouldn't. I'd probably have asked the people on the motu-release team on
IRC if they'd accept the package in a day or two and then write the FFe
so that it was ready.

I'm just saying that I don't consider this as severe as you apparantly
do.
