Not sure. How come up it happens here is a more relevant question.
I can only tell you that people only get their cheque books out when
they are certain somebody else will not do it for them for free.
This happened to you also, or did you have this terrible desire for CRC
checks on data blocks quite late in release cycle? If there hadn't been
blockers you'd be being lightly barbecued on the patch queue also. :-)
