That's not correct...

If it would be someone else, a motu hopeful or e.g. just me...I think I 
would already be on a  stake :)

The fun part is, that you have to deal with critics..and the critic of 
stefan is correct at this point.
I trust pitti and till in many ways...but if we don't follow our QA 
rules...we are doomed in the future...and if pitti acked this package 
because he trusted Till, and without reviewing it properly,  so pitti is 
getting also a LPS, bad pitti...

Again, it's the first mistake of Till...and actually I think it's not a 
big issue, when he's fixing it before release...

I know Till and I know that he's an awesome guy with a lot of knowledge...

Thinking about that, it should be considered to raise the core-dev 
question again in a few weeks time...

But I'm not on call here...it's just my 2cent...
