Thank you for the suggestion! Actually I've held off another ~150
emails and these ~200 emails were only part of work. I thought it's
better to reach 4 or 5 subsystem to collect sufficient feedbacks
considering some subsystems may respond slow. But I didn't realize a
better way is to cut down the size of patch set sent to a subsystem.
