It's your thoughts and care that count Neel, don't feel guilty.
Thanks!
The responses you received could have been a bit more 'matter of fact'.
What was *actually* important about the replies was 'we should be
QA'ing everything and getting more than one persons eyes on things'.
True, especially for big packages like GNOME, KDE, Mozilla, Xorg, or
LibreOffice.
Sometimes, I get trigger-happy. But I really shouldn't, well unless it's
a hobby project on GitHub.
Note (for everyone), some of the biggest impacts are caused by the
smallest commits.
The idea of a 'trivial update' needs to be related to the dustbin, and
we're still hearing it often.

I've had "trivial updates" that broke things, both in and outside
FreeBSD.
I've had code broken at my $DAYJOB, and that a Microsoft SaaS product
(not a household name product like Windows or Word, but still). I was a
major Tor contributor from 2017-2020 and had bad patches that broke
things or add bugs get in, and that with Tor being very
security-focused.
And hey, it's not like I'm pulling a University of Minnesota "research
project" where the goal is to intentionally add bugs to the Linux
kernel.
