Over time as patches succeed more I reduce testing so I can "get things done faster". Eventually I screw up, and get more cautious on checking. It's a dynamic balance.
With reduced review comes sloppier code. If we can't increase review, we can at least increase the penalty for screwing up when I do get caught.
If vger dropped all my emails for a week after I broke the kernel, I'd be far more careful OR I'd find efficient ways to avoid doing that (like increasing review, or automated testing). Either way, it's a win.
But I'm sure everyone else is far more disciplined than I... Rusty.
