This patchset was on the list for less than 5 hours before it got
merged. I tend to sleep for 8 to 10 hours. Making it impossible for me
to react any faster. At an absolute minimum, you need to wait 12
hours, if you expect anybody to have a fair chance of being able to
say, hold on, i want to comment on this patchset.

I also don't like the metric of 40 patches backlog. Is the size of
backlog more important than the quality of the patches? Don't we care
about the quality of the code any more? Don't we care about getting
code reviewed any more?
