We need to be careful about making our decision on such a trend. For a later iteration, the lack of comments does not give us much information. It can happen if all the comments have adequately been addressed, but it also can happen if none of the suggestions given in earlier rounds are addressed---the reviewers can easily give up and leave. I think I've followed the topic well enough to tell that it is the former for this instance (i.e. the patches have been polished well enough). Let's merge to 'next' so that we can keep it there long enough. Thanks. > We probably want to keep it in `next` for quite a while, too, to make sure > that people get the memo. > > Ciao, > Dscho
