That's kind of my point. A lot of regressions are only found after
they've been pushed. Delaying a push delays finding those regressions.

Don't get me wrong - we certainly want to avoid regressions and doing
some testing before pushing is a good idea, but there is a balance to be
struck.

It's also the case that not all patches are equal. It should be possible
to short-cut the process for small patches, or regression fixes, or
patches from a trusted author who has done significant testing already.

Cheers,
Mark.
