We have mechanisms to allow progress. We just aren't that keen on using 
them. That's because historically we haven't had need for them much, so 
we're traditionally not quick on the trigger. Given the current state with 
20+ trivial pull requests lingering (one of them against Serialization, hint 
hint, Robert), it's not unreasonable to predict that things are going to 
change, though.
