Whether you like the changes or not, the tone of this message is uncalled
for. Chin has spent alot of time on yarn and this sort of "holier than
thou" attitude is not going to make him do a thing. I wouldn't make me
do shit for anyone that talks that way to me.

Anyways, if you don't like .90, go back to .89. No one is forcing you
to use .90.
