I strongly agree with this. Moreover, in the above instance the fact that det was broken was only found because I retroactively decided to put in a doctest to verify that the problem was really fixed, and doing doctesting on some architectures showed that it wasn't fixed on all architectures. > * tickets are kind of like homicides: They either get solved in 48 > hours, otherwise they have a tendency to become cold cases. > > ^^^ you may want to preface this with something like "sensitive people > should cover their ears" Also, I don't agree with it. That is only the case if the ticket isn't assigned to a milestone. Moreover, often the solution can be much clearer a month later.
