From new bug to fixed in less than 10 hours

Bug 287621

I admit, I pretty much had the patch ready to go when I filed the bug, and that it was a one-line change... but to get review+ and strong-review+ in four hours is phenomenal.

Thank you very much, rginda, bz!

Thanks for your explanation about this.

If I read this correctly then the time spent is not because of submitting a bug, thinking about a possible solution and then implementing that solution, but just to get one line of code through Mozilla's QA-process.

One might argue that Mozilla has a thorough QA-process, but other people could argue that when one line of code change takes about 10 hours what would a more heavy code change take. I know that this cannot be compared, but still...

(From Alex: It's not so much the size of the patch that matters, I would guess.)

(From Alex: That's not exactly fair... SVG doesn't require sr yet. ;) )
