But you realize that now you are asking people to have to remember to go back and remove code when a release is available (where this code was just a temporary fix that I had to add to work around this annoying workflow - so you just made it more annoying to have to remember to go back and take out code I didn't want to add in the first place :). And will I remember to do that once the release is made??
