Yes, it's a problem, and yes the average quality of last-minute patches is visibly worse than that of patches committed in a less hasty fashion. We have been through this every year for the last couple decades, seems like, and we keep re-learning that lesson the hard way. I'm just distressed at our utter failure to learn from experience. regards, tom lane
