No, it's about the fact that I expect to be pushed code that is
WRITTEN AND TESTED BEFORE THE MERGE WINDOW.

The merge window is not for writing new code. The code that gets
merged should have been written two weeks ago already. The only new
code that I want to see are actual regressions.

I have been talking about this for YEARS now. It's not a new issue. I
hate seeing patches sent to me while they are clearly still being
discussed and developed. There's something seriously wrong there when
that happens.
