You installed your contentious changes without prior discussion on
emacs-devel.

By which you mean you installed your changes on the master branch.

It's a pity you didn't attempt to garner that agreement BEFORE
installing your changes. That might have saved a lot of bad feeling.

You'll recall that at one point I installed a quick change to make the
translation of quotes optional. Your reaction, the very next day, was
to nullify my change, rendering your translations mandatory again.

No, that won't do. By "something like it", you probably mean something
that leaves the translation mandatory. Only a facility which allows
total disablement will be adequate here. After discussion with Eli, I
intend to apply the patch I proposed yesterday, and I'd be much obliged
if this time you would allow its intention to survive.
