Well, we can discuss that of course :-) but keep in mind that the point
of having commitfests at all was so that we could have promises about
patches in progress, not just things that are "ready for commit".
For example, HOT was posted to -hackers several times but still there
was almost no review of it until very late in the cycle; which is
exactly what we want to avoid.
