Hmm. And I can _guarantee_ that none of these patches were actually tested 
as-is, because they were all rebased just minutes before the send.

So any possible subtle interactions with any other changes would never 
have been tested very much before the "please pull".

Are they likely? Probably not. But that's not the point. The point is that 
you barely had time to compile that thing, much less give it any testing.

The whole "it compiles, it's perfect, ship it" mentality is _strictly_ 
only for me.
