My practice is to leave the fix to mature a day or two (or three if it's 
a holidays season), even if it seems innocuous. The reason is that quite 
often people come back with valuable and totally unexpected insights 
(peer review) _when_ and if they had a chance to see the fix - and 
considering different time zones, occupations and workloads this may 
take a day or two even with best intentions... If a fix is complicated I 
explicitly ask for feedback.
