Linus can be a bit of a dick sometimes (and hey, so can I), but he's not prone to being rash or a petty tyrant. He just rides people a bit hard.

Following process to the letter isn't what we should be doing right now; this isn't the time for slowing down to cross every t and dot every i, this is the time for getting fixes pushed out quickly so we can move on to the next thing.

But things have also been stabilizing dramatically, it's already looking like I'll have a lot less out of merge window stuff to send this cycle (there wasn't much that I would've sent last cycle, either).

So things should be pretty well calmed down.
