If you are on my team and you want to rewrite code I wrote (cause it sux) then do it!

Sure, rewriting is fine, but ideally it would come in the form of a PR rather than being checked in, so if you had valid reasons for writing it that way, it can be reverted before anyone else layers code on top of the bad rewrite.



clearly these guys are trunking though, and when they have decided to go that way, its part of the trade-off. Has its pluses and minuses.
