[Sugar-devel] 90% working patches (was Re: 0.100 release schedule)

[Daniel Narvaez]

Well, this shouldn't be taken too literally. I'm not even sure
something like perfect code exists...

My point is more that a patch should be made good enough, in the
maintainer opinion, before landing. Delaying necessary changes after
the patch has been landed is not a good maintenance strategy.
