So, I basically agree with you that we all need to be careful when merging etc. Having said that, when you have a branch with a large set of code changes to merge, sometimes your mind slips and occasionally you overlook one or two things. So, I don't want us to resort to this accusatory tone of voice when something like this happens. And I don't think any one of us want to introduce breaks intentionally, and I tend to believe that we developers do spend reasonable amount of time double-checking changes unless there is evidence to support otherwise. So, let's just take it as it is, and try to be supportive & fix things instead of going on a rampage to put a blame on those who work hard to improve the code base. I'm pretty sure you mean well, but I'm just a bit concerned about your tone of voice in your email.
