I know this is probably heresy, but what would happen if we didn't merge
all that stuff at once, and then committed to having a real 4-week cycle?

The cycles seem to be stretching out again, and I don't really think
it's worth it to hold up the entire kernel for every single piddly
little regression to get fixed. We'll _never_ be perfect, even if we
weren't slackers.
