Yes, we should have run a CI test first. I am not complaining at all
about the time between having the series posted and you testing it. I
understand this delay and really, I can't blame you for that. I'm just
saying that this is the second time we (almost?) miss a release because
of the additional delays between us, which are, IMHO, not really needed
while there is no actual code review as long as we do run Travis.


Thanks,
