1. In that case you should have asked others via bugzilla to do the
change. You made drastic changes to the config of all platforms where
noone here thinks they're correct (nor was the way how to did it).
2. Turning off a whole subproject just because you don't like it (as
your actions in bugzilla indicate) isn't something you can decide alone
either

After all I ask you _again_ to revert the change, please.
