Because it won't get through any faster that way.  It will simply get
added to the existing request, which has been languishing.

That's unhelpful.  If the ftpmasters want to help out release
engineering, they need to do so.  It was nice to have them stop
processing on ofx when asked, but it's not ok to have them proceed to
ignore it after two rounds of NEW processing once asked to consider it
once more.

Based on past experience, my guess is that it will simply wait, and
wait, until it gets whatever special attention it needs.  No reupload
can change that.

Moreover, I have been scolded in the past for making an upload while a
previous upload was in the NEW queue.  

So, all that said, I'll do an extra upload without waiting, if I hear
from the ftpmasters that this is what *they* want me to do.
