It was nice of you to leave the old review tool unchanged, at least in part to placate me, but you’re squatting on another feature’s territory! I think we want a plain old formatted diff for other purposes. We need to get your tool out of there!

Sometimes you just want a formatted view of the patch. To give one example, Cmd+A Cmd+V does not do the right thing on this page for someone who just wants the patch. For another, the row of controls at the bottom may be distracting. In brief, sometimes you want "more" instead of "vi".

I do really like the layout of the new page. Seems like it will be really good for reviews. (Maybe the "Publish" button should be labeled "Preview" to reduce needless nervousness.)

Cheers,
Maciej
