It is far too easy to take a cursory glance, say 'That looks okay' and move on to the next thing, isn't it? I was horrified when I saw the list of acks etc (including me) on the commit with the helper_unlock issue we just fixed. It's truly scary to think that none of us looked closely enough to pick that up at the time.
