Okay ... still not sure I can ask people to wait that long.

We have been operating under a three day rule; ie send the email, start 
the work, hopefully you get feedback, if not commit after three days. 
Admittedly this is more useful for day to day gaps in the library (like 
default geometry not being handled by property access last week). When 
doing things like DataAccess we discussion was open for two meetings 
which seems reasonable.

Two weeks is a long time to go without a commit; indeed often it is 
useful to have the code out there in order to talk about.
