How's this different from any other complex patch? We get more familiar
with the problem during review, identify issues, improve the patch to
address them. And then again and again.
Of course, it'd be great to have a perfect understanding of the problem
from the very beginning, but that's not always possible. And I can't
guarantee we'll find/fix all issues.
