Right.  IMO the point of setting a deadline would be to try to light a
fire under people who have been letting reviewing and patch-updating
slide.  I don't want to arbitrarily boot a lot of small patches that
could have gotten done, but I don't want the active committers to be the
only ones pushing things to completion, either.
