That's a valid point.

I really hope we'll find more reviewers in general - I'm also not happy
if my patches go upstream with little/no review. However, patches
shouldn't be stuck for multiple merge windows in linux-next IMHO
(excluding exceptions of course) - then they should either be sent
upstream (and eventually fixed later) or dropped.

Thanks Andrew!
