It's certainly true that we twiddled our thumbs quite a bit about
getting 9.5 ready to ship. However, the old process where nobody
could get anything committed for six months out of the year blew
chunks, too. Personally, I think that the solution is to cut off the
last CommitFest a lot sooner, and then reopen the tree for the next
release as soon as possible. But this never works, because there are
always patches we want to slip in late.
