I think you and the team mostly work on things which require all the
bits to be in place (and working) before getting things
tested/reviewed.

If there is a way to conditionally (envvar or alike?) enable certain
codepaths during development, this way you can test things easier and
there will be a few patch-bombs less, and reviewers can look at them
gradually.

With the above said, yes please. Commit to master the work that's
reviewed, considering it's (somewhat) independent from your other
patches.

Ken,

I think we're fine if we shift things by a week, esp. since you've
mentioned it a few weeks back. Please, let's not make it much more
than that.

You're quote ok Alejandro. Thanks for all the great work you at the
team are doing.
