I am not suggesting that we need to tighten up during devel cycle,
and maybe not during early beta. But once we approach RC I think
we need a tighter process. We really want a "get it right the first
time" mentality to apply at this point, whereas during development
there's always time to catch problems later.

Don't forget you applied *two* very questionable patches on Thursday.
Had it been only one I'm not sure there'd be this degree of unhappiness.
