  Why would you need resolution to the minute unless someone was making
changes in /src/winsup equally frequently?  I had a data point that was
handily in between the 6th and the 24th, in fact it was more or less a binary
chop of the range that had still to be reduced and halved it!

Yeah, to you and me maybe that makes total sense.  But to somebody who can
track down and fix a bug he and/or she didn't even know existed PLUS post
two emails about it in less than nineteen minutes, and still thinks that's
too slow, I SUBMIT TO YOU THAT IT IS NOT SIR!  Your binary choppery would
have only reduced that to 9.5 minutes - STILL NOT FAST ENOUGH I SAY!  Had
you had at least a shred of human decency and had narrowed this chasm of
time down to the minute wherein the issue presented itself, you would have
reduced this post/duplicate/find/fix/post cycle time to:

8 days * 86400 secs/day... Carry the five... One-over... 

TWENTY SEVEN MICROSECONDS!

How DARE you sir!
