I agree. If I had more time than I actually do, I would have responded
with my 5-for-1 deal. Instead, I just looked at some of the patches,
and commented on further improvements.

As for the request "Are you sure that the patch is ready": this is
*very* difficult to answer for the author. We all have experienced
that patches that we considered good were critized out of nowhere,
and I just did the same to Nikolaus. There is just no way to tell
in advance whether people will approve a certain change or not, because
people will apply other criteria than oneself.
