Re: review process not working

[Jan Warchoł]

I agree with Graham that it's a matter of bad luck (i.e. "stuff
happens").  If i understand Graham correctly, the idea of countdown is
not to add some beaurocratic order, but to force us to "speak now, or
forever be silent" (tongue-in-cheek, of course).  In other words, a
patch without reviews is not put on countdown because it certainly
must be good, but precisely to *get* some reviews.

I'd like to see them for certain.

I'll try.  This will probably be easy; as i won't understant anything
i'll ask for comments everywhere :)
