That's why we have this rule that CF4 should only receive patches that
were already reviewed in previous commitfests. I, too, find the
fast-tracking of this patch completely outside of the CF process to be
distasteful. We summarily reject much smaller patches at the end of
each cycle process, even when the gain is as obvious as is claimed to
be for this patch.
TBH I don't see why we're even discussing this.
