On the other hand the pace of the stable patches became fairly high¹, so during a week of -rc review a *lot* of them will queue up and I predict we'll see requests for fast-laning some of them. Also, a release would immediately be followed by the next -rc review period, a procedure that gives me a bad feeling.
Keep in mind that the stable tree derives itself from Linus's tree - it's not a development tree on it's own and we don't control how many fixes flow into Linus's tree (and as a result into the stable tree). This means that it doesn't matter how long the review window is open for, you'll be getting the same time to review a single patch - whether we do 200 patches twice a week or 400 patches once a week. We can't create time by moving review windows around. -- Thanks, Sasha
