I get fed up with having to re-review the same patches over and over and
over again while people work out what's going on with the earlier parts
of the series, that gets very time consuming and is error prone. If
we're getting churn early on in the series that's causing things to
change then it's better to let that settle down and look properly at the
results than glaze over looking at each minor change as it comes in and
miss other things that get tweaked. Once the dependencies are stable
then it becomes worthwhile again.
