If we don't like parts of the deal as it stands and they altered one of those parts for the better, do we really want to pray that they don't alter it further? Witty quote and all, but it seems out of place here.

A bad deal that you can count on is better than a bad deal that keeps changing under your feet.

I find your lack of a basic sense of humor disturbing.

Perhaps you think the parent post is abusing HN guidelines unfairly? It would be a shame if I had to leave in a garrison of redditors here.

What? I didn't mean "out of place" as in it shouldn't be allowed to be posted here. Just that it didn't seem applicable to the situation.

Something like "you should explain a joke, it's like dissecting a frog. It's messy and the frog doesn't survive the process" went a quote whose original source or exact wording I can't find now.

For what it's worth I meant it in the sense that euccastro pointed out. Not that this particular change made things worse, but that entering into a deal which one of the parties can arbitrarily change doesn't make for the stablest of work environments.
