The point is that if this had been submitted for CF-1, CF-2, CF-3, or
CF-4, and I had concerns about it (which I do), then I would have
budgeted time to record those concerns so that they could be discussed
and, if necessary, addressed. Since it wasn't, I assumed I didn't
need to worry about studying the patch, figuring out which of my
concerns were actually legitimate, searching for other areas of
potential concern, and putting together a nice write-up until June -
and maybe not even then, because at that point other people might also
be studying the patch and might cover those areas in sufficient detail
as to obviate my own concerns.
