I think we can overplay the need for lots of rules here and the need to
chase up status every 5 minutes.
The first problem, in previous years, was patches spent too long on the
patch queue. That is now solved, AFAICS, at least to my satisfaction.
The second problem was spending >4 months on code consolidation at last
commitfest before we go to beta. We are unlikely to avoid that just by
saying "it will be two weeks"; trying to force it will cause arguments,
waste developer time and possibly endanger code quality. AFAICS we are
on track for a much improved situation than before and I'm personally
happy with that also.
Quality > Completeness > Timeliness, IMHO.
