Sorry that you feel offended by this; but please let's not overreact :-)

In this particular case, Tomaž gave explanation why he decided to push
the patch even without the unit test, and also promised that he'll come
up with a way how to test it reliably:

"First I want this patch in.. later I'll try to find a way to reliably
test this."

I recall that Tomaž bootstrapped test infrastructure in several modules
& areas & new ways, so I trust him that he will keep the promise ;-) -
so I don't really see a problem with this approach here...

We can go through that at the ESC of course; but until then - we should
at least get a friendly message to Laurent who's the author of the
original patch, and a poor victim here :-)  I'll try to ressurect the
gerrit issue entry in the meantime so that Laurent knows.

All the best,
Kendy
