At this point, I'm not going to be too nitpicky. I personally think we
need to get _something_ merged. We can then nitpick it to death once
its in the tree.

Yes, but ... do we have to rush right now?

This series wasn't in -next and we're in the merge window. Is the plan to still include it into this merge window?

Also, I think concise patch descriptions and comments are not necessarily nitpicking like "please rename that variable".


So I prefer whatever will move the set along. ;)

If the plan is to merge it in the next merge window (which I suspect, but I might be wrong), I suggest including it in -next fairly soonish, and in the meantime, polish the remaining bits.

Knowing the plan would be good ;)
