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
treatment which is unsupportable. You're also assuming that anybody's
going to be willing to commit that revision when you produce it, which
looks to me like an unproven hypothesis.
