Meanwhile I have to consider that we have several bug fixes outstanding,
and since I can't send Linus a pull request every day (max once a week)
I have to be very careful about when I send stuff.

So I only get _two_ opportunities during a merge window to send a pull
request.

I'm going to wait until tomorrow before sending my final pull for this
window, which is the penultimate day before the window closes.

Don't blame me for these delays - it's not my choice to impose such
delays.  I'd really like to fix those broken platforms right now.  I
just can't do so without causing additional delays for other issues.
Blame Linus for imposing the "max one pull a week" rule on me.
