That's the recommended time that they sit.  There may be problems with
the typoe fixes.  Yes, it has happened in the past.  Go read the whole
long en_US vs en_UK threads we had when someone went in and made
UK->US spelling corrections (and a smaller version when someone else
made US->UK corrections earlier in the history of the project).  The 3
days give folks a chance to say, "but it wasn't a typo" or "yes, but
you corrected it wrong" or whatever.

Since no one in their right might would consider a typo a critical fix
at this stage of -stable's life cycle, MFC after: 3 days is the proper
thing to do.
