I will have to add  to the choir here: getting reviews is not mandatory 
and I hope they will never be.

Reviewed code is likely to have less errors but sometimes we just need 
to get things done.

Look, for example, the case of the automounting daemon amd(8), which we 
have been planning to remove for some years: your unfortunate 
intervention stopped it from getting removed from the system for how 
many months(?) stopping progress there altogether.
