Will do... Did that.
Do you think that there's some reason not-to merge it?
Yes, if you meant "apply as-is" by "merge it". No, if you meant "apply
after an initial round of sanity checks, even if it is not perfect".
I was hoping that with this approach, in a week after you sent
out your call-for-help-in-testing, you could send a version for
inclusion with a commit log message that says "tested on X (by
Foo), Y (by Bar),...", with the patch text that is exactly the
same as what people tested. The point is not to make that list
of platforms exhaustive, but at least make it a bit more than
"works for me".
And I think that plan has worked well.
