This is probably one of those few cases where Casey and I are in
perfect agreement.  I'd much rather see the patches hit my inbox than
have to go hunting for them and then awkwardly replying to them (and
yes, I know there are ways to do that, I just personally find it
annoying).  I figure we are all deluged with email on a daily basis
and have developed mechanisms to deal with that in a sane way, what is
29 more patches on the pile?
