Well, I know that you deal with a lot of patches and often wonder how
you manage to do all that great work, but nevertheless please allow me
to ask:

I assume that that not all of those 1600+ patches are fixes for
regressions, so should a revert for a very recent regression be in a
different mbox with a slightly higher priority[1] to get handled before
the others?

Ciao, Thorsten

[1] for most other developers I would have said "highest priory", but I
assume in your case there are still more important things
