That is a valid reason, I am pretty sure everyone here (including me) has
been guilty of that one.  Which doesn't mean we can't do better to educate
ourselves on the patterns for the most common issues.  The "fix for a
null-dereference to anything that has a function pointer in it" is such a
pattern.


THAT, however, is unacceptable IMO.  If one can't be bothered, or one
doesn't have the time (or the skill, whatever) to access the severity of a
fix, he should ask for someone to do that on the commit message.  One extra
short sentence at the end of the commit message [asking for that help] is
DEFINATELY not too much to ask.
