Keep in mind that most (if not all) large features in 19 were written, reviewed
and tested, before AI tools were either available or even remotely as good as
they are now. I think the volume and type of postcommit fixes for 19 is a
clear indication of this. Feature freeze for 20 will likely be a different
story again.
