That doesn't mean that you should patch-bomb people once a week even
without any review happening.

Is FRED in any hardware incarnation to rush it?

If no, be patient, address the review comments once you have them and do
not spam once a week just because. As Dave said, this is wanted by all
and it will get reviewed eventually. But it is not something that needs
to go in now so you don't have to create unnecessary pressure.

Thx.
