I remember looking at that image and figured "oh, I guess that was  
intended", since I didn't read the commit message to see what the patch was  
actually about.

I don't think there's any specific lessons to be learned from this.  The  
countdown mechanism gives us all an opportunity to have better-quality code  
and fewer regressions; we have collectively chosen to accept the same  
amount of regressions and code quality based on the relatively lax reviews  
(in both quality and quantity).  There's nothing wrong with that, as long  
as it's an informed choice and we accept the consequences.

(BTW, with the Paris server, it would be easy to put the regtest comparison  
for each patchset up on the internet.  All reviews would then contain a  
link to the regtest comparison, automatically, so that anybody could see  
exactly what the changes were.  ETA: 2 hours of python hacking in Patchy,  
maybe 1 hour of messing around on the server depend on how it's set up.  I  
think this could be extremely useful.  Think about it.  :)
