It can damn well be around for another release then.

Because I'm really tired of these late pull requests. That's true in
general, but it's particularly true when I've told people I'm
traveling with a laptop. I was spending extra time the first week of
the merge window to get things out of the way so that I would *not*
have to deal with conflicts etc when on the road.

I appreciate people who send me a second pull request with *fixes* for
the first one because they are starting to already react to bug
reports. But your whole thing where you think you send me a first pull
request and then a second one late in the merge window with more
development is simply not ok.

Either it was ready to go early, or it's not ready to go at all. None
of this "I have more presents for you".

The merge window is not for late development or for "Let's make extra
work for Linus the last day of the merge window when he's on the road
in a strange time zone"
