It's Kay's standard M.O.  He does that on EVERY project he works on ... when
HIS project has a bug that shows up in interfacing with another project, rather
than admit that his code has a bug, he takes an axe to another project's code.

This and other actions of his are indicative of a severe personality disorder.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder at best, possibly Borderline Personality Disorder.
