Agreed. It was indeed less than 24 hours.
Next time I will give 48 hours for huge or complex patchsets; I just
don't see a reason to wait 24 hours for trivial bug fixes however I
agree a U-Boot change needs more time and will follow this rule next
time.

Agreed, read above.

I wasn't clear about what I meant. I mean that obviously the test we
can do before having it used by everyone is a limited test and some
subtle issues might be not discover until we have it with a wider user
base. This was the reason I rushed (and I agree it was too fast) in
this case.
I think it is important to have time to iron out any possible
regression not found in initial test; but I agree that waiting a bit
of more time wouldn't change it.
