That is hardly true. I am not complaining, but just pointing out some
reality that can't be helped.
We have a dozen man page or similar level improvements since 2.4.0 though
at least one critical bug fix I submitted is still awaiting review. This
has to be expected as it takes the right person and quality time to get
certain things reviewed. Sometimes trivialities like the non-exiting
inefficiency (save a microsecond once an hour?) of carrying around
[[INLINE]] tag may get multiple reviews, but a bug fix may wait for ever
and even lost under the pile.
It all depends what catches our fancy, personal interest, expertise and
mood. No point in trying to rationalize it beyond that.
