I'm usually all about coordination :) So sure thing.
I'm just not sure what you think we missed out on, with this particular case.

You couldnt make the change on 'your end', until the database and my
registration scripts were changed.  But i'm not sure what the problem
is in the other direction. I dont see what we "lost", if the gar-side
changes were made a week after the database change, as compared to the
same day.
