I also want to make a general comment.... for the record.

If I let patches slip consistently past 24 hours my backlog is
unmanageable.  Even with aggressively applying things quickly I'm
right now at 70-75.  If I do not do what I am doing, then it's in the
100-150 range.

So I am at the point where I often must move forward with patches that
I think I personally can verify and vet on my own.
