Yap, I saw all that.

I think you're misunderstanding me. My response was to Babu in an attempt to
correct his thinking that somehow patches should be rushed before a merge
window.

People tend to do that in front of merge windows and I'm replying to that
sentiment in the hope that as many people as possible read that and understand
that rushing patches never works and is never good.

It didn't have anything to do with Ben's patchset - it *just* happened to be
on that thread only.

As a matter of fact, I started applying his v7 but was waiting for Sashiko to
finish reviewing it.

I hope this makes the whole thing more clear.

Thx.
