This kind of cock-up seems to be common (at least for me); often minutes
after sending a bundle to the list, I'll realize I made a dumb mistake,
and amend and re-send it.

To avoid inadvertently applying a cock-up bundle to unstable (which
would annoy the amend-recording author), how do you (Eric) feel about a
general rule of not applying (to unstable) any bundle sent in the last
twenty-four hours?

That is, after I send a bundle, I have a guaranteed minimum twenty-four
hour window in which to discover (and amend, resend) cock-ups, and other
denizens have that same window in which to review the patch and scream
something like "Noooooo!  Don't apply this; doing so will cause the
heavens to fall and the ground to be rent asunder."
