No even then. The recommended way to do a working patch is using drafts: <a href="https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Gerrit#Submitting_patches_as_drafts">https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Gerrit#Submitting_patches_as_drafts</a> Everything else is frustrating reviewers checking "open" changes. Also, even _if_ a change would still be uploaded accidentally for review although it is not intended to be merged as is, there is little harm done, when the change is abandoned under the conditions above. Reviving a abandoned change is trivial and the autoabandon is actually a helpful reminder -- better than letting them stay in limbo for months.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
