every 24 hours, do you really say it'll take longer than 24 hours to get
a couple people to test the issue and confirm that your fix does indeed
fix the issue, and doesn't seem to create any other immediately
noticeable issues?
At the risk of putting words into Kevin's mouth, I think that you just
made his point. I'd be very surprised if Kevin couldn't get x number of
people to say yes to a fix that he considered urgent. This might confirm
that the fix had its expected consequence, but I think that he already
knew that or he wouldn't be trying to push it to stable. It wouldn't say
much for stability or edge cases, only a good regression suite would
give confidence on that score.
