I hope you don't consider those two patches to be similar cases.

One was committed without going to the mailing list by someone with
one patch in pixman every 5 years.

The other was was sent to the mailing list by a person with plenty of
pixman contributions and reviewed by two people. In Mesa we wait 24
hours, for the reasons you describe. Looks like it was close to 24
hours in this case.

I'm happy to wait more than 24 hours in the future -- that's no
problem. I'm just taking issue with the suggestion that the two cited
examples are somehow the same.
