I'll second that. It's awfully hard to work in isolation building a larger and
larger patch for months without being sure that you're even on the right
track...

Note that quicker turnaround time doesn't have to mean actually doing reviews
faster. It just means not waiting until the patch is in release-ready state.
It's latency that's hurting us, not bandwidth...
