Drupal 7 is the 'next' or 'experimental' branch. It's also likely to
have anything up to 1,000 people working on it (and at least about 50
at any one time) - so when it breaks, those people can't work.

Some patch reviews take less than 30 seconds, especially when the
issue queue is long and has lots of stale patches in it. You've
already spent more than 30 seconds replying to this thread ;)

If you review some patches, the next time you report a bug, it's
likely others will pay more attention to it.
