I didn't want to mention that I was thinking of doing the same thing.  I
thought in the context of this it would sound more like a threat, when
in truth it's just the reasonable thing to do given the current
situation of being nagged about something I can do nothing about.

I will say though that someone triggered an approval on my package after
I sent the original email, so at least that was helpful.
