It's about integrating the class. When Marc asked for a freeze exception, I 
suggested and you agreed that we would have the weekend to work on this and 
that the 5.4 branch would be created on Monday. Just like it was done for the 
past 4 feature releases.

Well, the branch was created on Saturday halfway through the day and the "dev" 
branch moved to 5.5 through administrative action. That's the first time this 
happens and there was no discussion or prior warning.

We lose 24 hours worth of integration+fix attempts and another 36 hours due to 
my unavailability in the new integration window. So other people please take 
care of reviewing and approving Ivan's changes in the next 48 hours.
