I forgot to respond to this part. Yes, we could be more blunt and
explicitly state that bringing the issue back to the discussion
stage is way too late and unwelcome.
However, offering advice only on finding a replacement should be a
sufficient hint for any reasonably clueful person to understand that
it is far too late to suggest a reversal. There will always be
those who demand that we revisit our decisions regardless of what we
tell them, and those people are unsalvageable.
