If anything this would be my fault for merging things despite there being concerns raised. I have to admit I'd seen other patches and therefore erroneously thought the issues we mostly resolved. Should OE-Core block on all issues being resolved before merging? I'm torn on that, I realise there are pros and cons. It takes most of my time/energy to track the issues with core without trying to remember that patch X breaks layer Y and that I need a report back on that combination before I then find a patch and merge it. So sorry, I probably shouldn't have taken this :/. There is a fundamental issue with having enough people to help work on these things though and requiring more work for changes to be merged isn't going to help. I wish I knew what would help.
