That's where I strongly disagree with Ingo :-) There's no such thing as
a patch set hanging around too long. Patches should go in when they are
ready and in good shape, not due to some kind of time bomb, which
results in tons of unfixable crap being merged, which is very bad
engineering.

Cheers,
Ben.
