This is a very good analysis. I have been holding back my trivial new
patches for 9.6 in hopes of setting a good example. However, all my
stuff is new, while many of these other patches have waited their turn
for review, and we are going to be unfair to submitters if we don't give
them the attention they deserve --- that is always the tension we have
at this time.

We have three days left so I think we need committers to devote serious
time, if possible, to helping us resolve as much as we can. If we start
thinking about this on Friday, it is too late.
