In some of these cases, especially if it is about reverting stuff that
fixes a long standing problem but in an ugly way, being as polite as
you should be IMO can be rather hard. In this case someone not involved
IMO would need to speak up early to avoid things going too far.
I have some doubts that we can organize it, but I guess someone doing a
bit of arbitration (possibly also off-list) might be a good idea.
If we want to improve things there are also other things everyone can
do. For example I have lately seen quite a few jokes about Diego's
spelling fixes (and no, not only from Michael) I really could not find
funny at all. Problem is, with email it's hard to know how it is meant,
so I decided to say nothing so far, but I wonder if that was the right
decision...
