I have benefited immensely from review of my WIP patches, and a lot of
the serious review tends to happen during commitfests. This is most
important for features with a significant user interface, where it's
harder to guess what people will want.

My current strategy is to submit WIP-marked patches during a commitfest.

I agree that we should continue to have a mechanism to review patches
that aren't ready for commit, though I'm fine if we change it.
