Grr..

And that's exactly why it matters not about "being reviewed", but when
they were in linux-next etc.

I've pulled this, but consider this a complaint. Things should not be
"reviewed" before the merge window. They should be ready and merged
and have actually seen some testing.

Review is good. But nothing beats actually being out there and
actually seeing real-life testing (of course, linux-next probably
mostly gets build-testing, but what testing it gets is still better
than not being there).
