Yes.  In this case the code was pushed in after only two weeks in
current.

Exactly.  We shouldn't be merging features at all, unless there's a
compelling reason, the code has been reviewed by at least two people
and it has had at least a month or two in current.  If you can't find
two people to review the code, then you can't merge it to stable due
to lack of interest.
