- Subject: Declaring stage3 before stage2 patches were reviewed
Why was stage3 declared before some of the invasive patches posted
during stage2 were reviewed?
A few of them (such as var-tracking), originally submitted during
stage2, weren't reviewed until stage3, and were then shot down as too
invasive.
It really seems a bit odd to say that people should submit certain
types of patches during certain stages, and then we declare the
beginning of a new stage and reject the old patches.
I don't believe we should have declared stage3 until the outstanding
"obviously inapproriate for stage3" stage2 patches were reviewed.
