+1 Problems with Master have greatly affected my ability to respond sympathetically to reviewer comments. Adding a new hypervisor crosscuts many subsystems. This makes my work hyper-sensitive to breaks in Master. The result is this nasty dilemma: Either argue against good recommendations, or lose a week getting a stable Master for QA cycle on the improvements. Plus, as we've seen, when I fix Master, I introduce problems for people dependent on the bugs. Not a great position to be in :( DL
