We'd have to decide what we're doing to fix this first. Depending on what that is, it could take a few days to implement, or longer. We can make it a priority for beta 1 (the next release), and of course you'd be able to just upgrade to a nightly once it's in.
Short-term, I'd just advise splitting up the changes more, if possible. Having smaller things to review should mean fewer comments.
