Sure, I'm happy to send fewer patches. Could you go into a little more
detail about what 'per week' means in this context. Can you give me an
example?

This series has been sitting around since mid-October. It just didn't
get reviewed / applied. I just hit a situation where I needed PXE
booting, so I added another patch and sent a v2.
