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.
The point here is that Kevin isn't perfect. As such, he can make
mistakes, just like all of us. By asking for a couple karma nods from
different people, we increase the chance of catching some of those
mistakes. Since the delay exists anyway, it doesn't seem to be that big
of a deal to me to make sure a couple people test it and comment as such
during that delay.
