Three minutes after the release of 7.2.14? Really? That's, well... ambitious.

Yes it is :)
I want this to be the last 7.2.y release, and everyone move to 7.3.y after it is out in a day or so. We have just too many stable kernels "in flight" right now, and too many pending patches based on the huge number of bugfixes flowing through the system right now. This is an attempt to keep on top of that by reducing our release load (and your testing load).
thanks,

Ah ok, understood. That makes perfect sense.
I was wondering, anyway, how on earth you and Sasha manage that immense workload. I guessed that you must have, together, at least twelve arms and five heads to be able to do what you are doing.
I have to say, that I am damn glad that I don't have your job! 😉😁
