I really should have changed that message to 7 days. Sorry.
What really happened, I think, is with 7.2 in beta, patches didn't get
the full washing they would normally get from the group, so they aren't
as polished as usual. If we get some feedback to the submitter, we can
just delete them and go back to the normal process of
post/comment/queue.

OK, shoot over some comments. Peter already sent over some nice ones.

Over one week? Wow. Most are jdbc or clear rejections, so once those
are gone, we should be able to deal with these more clearly. What I
_don't_ want is for this to drag on and on.
If I can not get comments on these within one week, I will apply/reject
them as best I can tell.
