I also agree the changes are not particularly controversial, but then
why to ask for comments at all? I'm OK with a committer making final
tweaks and pushing it without asking, but if you ask for comments, let's
give people time to actually respond.

I agree introducing weeks of delays would be silly, but I'm not asking
for that. I'm perfectly fine with two days for feedback, as long as it's
not a weekend + half of Monday.
