Like Peter, I am *extremely* concerned that you seem to be taking an
apply-by-default approach to these queued patches.  Most of them have
not seen any review, and it's unreasonable to expect the reviewers to
deal with such a huge pile in a short period of time.

At minimum, I want to take an approach of apply-only-after-positive-
review to these.

If you want it done that quickly, then reject 'em all.  We all have
other tasks besides reviewing.

I don't normally like being this strict, but because of the unusually
long beta cycle for 7.2, we have a massive backlog here.  We cannot
take a business-as-usual approach to dealing with it.
