The end-to-end diff is significant because it's not the full patch
series.

Give me pointers to the two branches and I'll get you a patch series on
top of Ævar's that gets you *exactly* zero end-to-end diff to Emily's
series.

There's many paths to end up with exactly the same code.

I do it all the time.

The Git project doesn't have deadlines.

Code should be merged when it's ready to be merged, not when it's
convenient for $company.

I have patches that have been stuck for 7 years. Why should $company get
a fast-path, an exception, or preferential treatment?

Cheers.
