I think the problem is specifically in a case like this one, where people who are able to verify patches are not overflowing with free time. We cannot run the risk of destabilizing patches building up because nobody had the time to check things that were already checked in.
I think you are confusing two issues, one is giving people who have been doing work for a while (where tier ones don't constantly correct things etc) a bit more slack, and patches building up. I'm talking about the former. There are also two types of patch build ups, one is the checked patches, which is the only kind of patches in my book, and the other of unchecked patches. When I talk about patches gathering dust I'm talking about checked patches. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
