I was just about to pen an angry screed along the same lines.
The commit flux over the past couple days, and even the last
twelve hours, was flat-out ridiculous.  These patches weren't
ready a week ago, and I doubt they were ready now.

The RMT should feel free to exercise their right to require
revert "early and often", or we are going to be shipping a
very buggy release.
