Indeed, but if that was the point we should have been seeing drafts of
this patch long ago. I interpreted Sergey's submission as "getting this
in before feature freeze", and in that context the bar is higher. If a
patch isn't pretty nearly ready to be applied when the freeze deadline
arrives, we won't wait around for it.
