FWIW, I still have every confidence in your judgement about features. However, I'd have to say that your timing sucks :-) Your initial message read to me as "Quick! I'm about to get lynched here - can I have the OK to shove this change in before a2 goes out?" (OK, 2.5 isn't feature frozen until a3, so maybe you only meant a3, but you clearly wanted a quick response).

Feature freeze is the day we release beta1. New features go in until then - after that, not without approval and a general concensus that the changes have a substantial cost/benefit for breaking the feature freeze. Or if Guido gets Google developers parading him in effigy around the office and needs to get them off his back.
