Sorry---I was mostly venting and it was not productive. There isn't much individual contributors can do by themselves, other than choosing the right place to base their topics on and communicate it accurately when sending the patches to the list. I think I made sure that all the topics in master..pu that have tricky dependencies are at least buildable (which involved a few topics to be rebased on the right commit, sometimes rebuilding the base that is a merge of a few topics in flight), so hopefully we are in good shape now. Thanks.
