Well, we seem to have different views. It seems stupid to review one 
half of the change, in one project, without seeing the corresponding 
half of the change, namely how the other project changes / uses the 
change in the first project. But that's a matter of taste, I guess.

Huh?

so *you* said there was a problem with changing both of the same time. I 
didn't understand why, so I asked

> Why can't it be made in both projects at the same time?

I don't understand your question in response; I'm not saying there's a 
problem, you are?

I mean, as I said, I'd like atomic commits but I can live with the 
current way of comitting the change in the two projects independently, 
but I want to continue making the two changes at the same time. You say 
that I should first change Fenfire and later (how much later? an hour? a 
day? a week?) change Loom. I don't want to do that; I want to change 
both projects at the same time. You say I shouldn't. So it seems to be 
you who sees a problem, not me.

If you want to know why I want to make the change at the same time, 
well, I don't want to have to wait for some artificial time until I can 
continue coding...
