OK, will apply manually and test soon.Thanks. Note that this does _not_ mean regtests and doc builds: we have automatisms for that. It means running your own files that use this feature, and reading the docs to see whether the docs as well as the new incarnation of the feature make sense to you. Opinions are more important than results here, and results are only important as _experiences_, namely connected with your own, individual work. Don't bother doing the job of the computer. We need that of the human. Thanks
As an interjection from a semi-human part of the process: I ordinarily put patches on countdown rather aggressively, with the inent of keeping them flowing through the system. I could easily restrict countdowns to those patches which have an explicit LGTM from a senior developer. Another approach might be to ask developers to flag their especially critical patches with a "needs LGTM". I'm afraid both would slow the patch clearing process, but either should give the sort of explicit review David is seeking.
