Except that open PRs quickly become irrelevant or semi-relevant, |
27 |
compared to the time which it takes to merge them. In the end, people |

actually end up applying fixes to old versions while skipping the newest |

because it was added independently. |

And then some people will come and yell at you that you are using |
32 |
'unofficial workflow' to 'hide' that signal from them. |
