Originally you said you would respect if I wanted the code out
for v2.0, I said I would like it out at some point, not necessarily in
v2.0. Junio said he was fine with that, but the proposals above don't do
that.

Now it seems you are changing your mind and you are OK with the code
remaining in.

Do what you will, but I already told you what I will do in response.
