''un''knowingly.
I primarily meant merging tickets with known ''newly introduced'' flaws or
deficiencies, which of course requires some positive review.
(Not fixing old flaws on a ticket is another issue, and heavily depends on
the situation, especially the effort to do so, and the cost of delaying
other changes already made. Also, spkgs are IMHO different to patches to
the rest of Sage.)
> Which is the fundamental difference between Sage and most other OS
projects - the developers are mostly mathematicians first, programmers
second (or third, or `n`th). My apologies for not being a shell script
ninja ;)
Ninjas operate silently.
> If I'd waited for someone who knew enough about shell to check whether
it did more than work correctly it would have never been reviewed :)
Hmmm, I saw Dave was cc'ed.

Chicken and egg? So Sage on Cygwin will replace Windows, or is Microsoft
going to rewrite it in Sage when the Cygwin port is ready?
