I believe there are a lot of cases where REVU uploads are "triaged" (as part of the long long list) and simply comment on the few obvious things that could be improved. If the MOTU felt empowered to make the decision right now and not leave the upload waiting for another ACK we would come down to high-quality reviews quicker. > We get a lot of drive by packagers who > really won't come back and fix it.
