But some of the questions you ask have long correct responses and short
wrong ones... (of course, there are long wrong ones, too)

Except that constructive discussion usually doesn't happen.

Another question is what is a high-impact patch. I can argue that any
deepOverride implementation trickery has less impact than GNU TLS update
which you posted without a post-factum message with important excerpts
from Changelog. And GNU TLS upgrade does require upgrading some things
to fix interaction regressions (I can tell the details if you want, but
they are longer than 10 lines).
