Sure, and if everybody does that, then there will be 40 patches that
get updated in the last 2 days if the CommitFest, and that will be
impossible. Come on. You're demanding a degree of preferential

going to be willing to commit that revision when you produce it, which
looks to me like an unproven hypothesis.
