In this case, we have the needs of the Fedora project (this change) stacked up 
against your needs (your reluctance to perform a task).

The needs of Fedora must win in this case.

The Fedora project, as with all collaborative open source projects, succeeds 
when the collaborators collaborate. The Fedora project fails when people carve 
out a niche for themselves and refuse to play nice with others within that 
niche.

Given your email address, I am going to assume you’re paid by you’re employer 
to work on Fedora, and are not working on Fedora by your own volition. This is 
the time when your mentor should step in set some of the ground rules for how 
you interact with a community.

When you work on Fedora you’re working on a shared codebase that isn’t yours. 
Other people will make changes to code you’ve worked on, and they are not only 
allowed to do that, and they should be actively encouraged to do that, and be 
thanked for their work.

As an end user of Fedora, I am grateful for the work done, including this 
change, and thank the person who made the change to have taken the time to do 
it.

Regards,
Graham
