We've had issues with the automated testing systems in the past where a maintainer has had a policy of letting things percoltate for a week before sending to Linus and there's been a bug that caused a substantial set of tests to fail to run (generally it's something that had unnoticed dependencies in -next so wasn't caught there) - we essentially end up not getting the affected bits of test coverage for that period of time which is not helpful. --PWfwoUCx3AFJRUBq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAlro2QcACgkQJNaLcl1U h9DxnAf9HzUDmU+qq+4qRe4pUJ2JUqrxmOUrzh5xVDe59HtPwt3WOUjp5urbjJMB GZirE6izFgY4kwP2uACJCOvNriAKh/WGpHpjOJXPMd9HMV8OD7KltB1z4K8PVcfM SjMxJTgZRPDX5e7VsGkBkjcOI4bbLZuPa5zvD3QJnAmdXScyPEQz7qX/QZ1lFOVe zFduJeyBXPf/UfUSNwUeWI6FV8sYSmvdbaayYFlJBSFaZLnYrN8MicGMHhn4mH7j he7rLtGHqMwtLbS5zHIQ6uc/NTXJSLvxvHC/d7rzq1z2FJDe622u5q9nHt5gjTk1 UJXUaBdaUypURyopsJUgH04ZviJKWw== =E0fI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --PWfwoUCx3AFJRUBq--
