A certain amount of slip would likely help me too, as would if the flood
of patches (or revisions thereof) would start to decrease. I think we
need to consider taking some measures to prevent everyone wanting
to rush in their changes during the last couple of weeks before the
freeze (irrespective of how long ago a first iteration may have been
posted). I can only say that with the current situation (which I don't
think was ever that bad), and with the need for me to do things other
than patch reviewing, I'm not going to feel bad at all if some or all of
those series miss 4.5 even if that's only because I didn't get to look at
the n-th iteration thereof.
