No it isn't.  Peter announced a change in advance, giving other people a change
to respond.  So do you object to merging the parallel build stuff?  (I think it
should go in - the question is just whether to do it separately or as part of a
merge of the stdenv branch.)

I'm not entirely sure what "it" is, but quite a few of the complaints about the
development process seem to come from you...
