Misbehavior is characterized by intent and subsequent acceptance of 
responsibility.  If someone commits a change which de-stabilizes the 
software, then they should expect to take responsibility for the 
clean-up.  Likewise, committing a change which will knowingly 
de-stabilize the software is harmful, unless there is a plan made in 
advance for how the issue will soon be rectified.  Sometimes temporary 
instability is ok because the end justifies the means.
