OK, I'm not the type who gets offended easily, but this did make my blood pressure go up a bit:

TJ, I hope You did this with the best of intentions. But I'm really offended that You did it without at least telling me about it first. My personal e-mail address is well known, and dropping me a mail first would have been the polite thing to do. If You'd done that,
such a release could have been done quickly with my "official"
blessing.
Instead, You've made me angry and created a mess - there's now one
more place where some random version of Hobbit can be found. And on
top of it all You've given it the look of an official patch by putting a "4.2.1" label on it.
All I'm asking for is that all of you *think* about what you do.
If you're frustrated about the next release not arriving, do
something to move it forward - i.e. grab the current source-trunk
from the Subversion archive, use it and send bug reports. Or
patches. Or write docs.
