The other thing to point out is that the merge windows are now much
more unpredictable.

The last merge window was 12 days long, rather than the usual 14.  With
Linus' statement about the two week window being too predictable, I would
not be surprised if this merge window was about 7 days instead.

What this means overall is that it becomes much harder to sanely plan
stuff either for the lead up to the merge window, or during the merge
window itself.

Therefore, this "initial batch" is most likely to become "only batch"
since it's no longer possible to be reasonably ensure that there will
be a merge window open in the second week.
