I agree with Graham that it's a matter of bad luck (i.e. "stuff happens"). If i understand Graham correctly, the idea of countdown is not to add some beaurocratic order, but to force us to "speak now, or forever be silent" (tongue-in-cheek, of course). In other words, a patch without reviews is not put on countdown because it certainly must be good, but precisely to *get* some reviews.

I'll try. This will probably be easy; as i won't understant anything i'll ask for comments everywhere :) cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
