Andrei is the one who was doing most of the work by reviewing and merging most

As far as I'm concerned, 3.minutes() is a prime example of what's wong UFCS. 
UFCS can be very useful, but oh how I hate that syntax (completely aside from 
the particular function being called, I think that 3.anything() is horrible). 
But obviously not everyone agrees.

I actually hope that it _doesn't_ continue. If Andrei (or anyone else) wants 
to focus on dealing with pull requests on one particular day of the week, 
that's fine with me (it's his time to spend however he wants to), and I think 
that it's great that so much got done, but I think that we'd be better off if 
pull requests generally got dealt with more regularly rather than all at once.
