So I think this is a case where no explicit rules have been broken. But
if you know that someone has been posting patches and is working on a
problem just racing them to get your own stuff merged is very likely to
unnecessarily ruffle feathers. So sync with the person next time.

The discussion wasn't at an impasse and Pedro is expected to follow-up.
It's not very nice to just have someone else's work be for naught.

This lacks quite some context... I said "in its current form" and the a
long discussion ensued.

So ok, but this is literally what Pedro is working on. This just wastes
people's time.
