It sounds to me like you are saying that a minute of your time is more valuable than a minute of each of several other peoples time. The only two people I gladly accept that argument from are Linus and Andrew. For the rest of us, it is important to minimize the total workload of all us combined, not to optimize our individual output. What you don't test, several others of us get to test. Only its often more work, for -each- of us, as we each have to figure out which of 1000 patches caused the breakage. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
