Don't use compose. This would also serve as a bit of optimization by reducing number of calls needed to create a coercion type.
Alongside got rid of accessing attributes via accessors and replaced with direct references. This would also remove extra method invocations.
Should fix Net::BGP, as bisected in #4108

vrurg nine: because a call to CoercionHOW compose was missing in on two paths. 15:21
nine Neither patch nor commit message make that clear 15:22
vrurg Argh, right... 15:23
I was too focused on what's been done and under some time pressure too. 15:24
nine There shouldn't be any time pressure
15:27 b2gills joined
vrurg nine: Agree. But that why we eventually need better review process. A mistake can take place any time. 15:28
nine I don't see how that's connected?
vrurg nine: A reviewer could've spotted bad commit message before PR merging when it's not too late to fix it. 15:33
nine Yes. So why did you merge it not half a day after opening it? 15:34
vrurg Because too often no reviews happens and I felt that the bug is rather severe to be fixed ASAP. But it's only explanation, not an excuse. I agree, I must've let it wait for longer. 15:40
nine Seems to me the review process itself is fine :) We just have to stick to it 15:41
If a bug is actually time critical (what makes it so?), the best course of action is to simply revert the change that introduced it and work on the fix without pressure. 15:42
sena_kun nine, I think "time critical" is implied by the release date in 4 days. Which can be stretched and all, of course, but humans are not always perfectly rational. 15:43
nine That's excatly what I was trying to get that. Regular, frequent releases are done for the sole purpose of avoiding the "need to get this in in time for the release" rush. They do so because if the next release is up in a month anyway, not much is lost by missing one of them. 15:46
For regressions that pop up during release testing, reverting the change is always the safe option. All that means is that a new feature will be delayed by just a month. And it obviously wasn't ready for prime time anyway. 15:47
vrurg Besides, 4 days is enough to review a single rather short PR.

nine For my own PRs I'm acquiring a habit of giving them a week, then ask here if anyone's planning to do a review and then merge them. 16:02
patrickb o/ Chiming in on the discussion. How much additional work would consequently using a release branch be? I.e. create a branch a week before the release or so and do the revert only there.
nine And everytime I feel a little frustration coming up because my PRs sit there unreviewed, I start reviewing other PRs. Because....it's hard to feel entitled when I don't do my share :) 16:03
patrickb I suspect a golden rule would need to be, to never do complex stuff on the release branch.
nine I thought we already do release branches? 16:04
sena_kun I just derive a branch from the commit fitting. 16:05
patrickb Actually I noticed a recent trend to give the PRs more love. I really like that. nine++, jnthn++ (I may be missing someone) Thank you! 16:06
sena_kun goes afk 16:07
nine Speaking of giving them 1 week. It's about time for: github.com/Raku/nqp/pull/687 16:13
Anyone wants to take a look?
MasterDuke looks reasonable to me 16:16

Geth nqp/master: 5 commits pushed by (Stefan Seifert)++, niner++
patrickb Maybe we should promote release branches more and have a well defined procedure. Initial idea: Branched a week before the planed release date ("feature freeze") and loudly announced on IRC. This would prevent features getting into the release shortly before the release, but that's probably a good thing.
MasterDuke patrickb: do you know much about building moarvm on windows? 16:21
patrickb Also this would move the "merge rush" a week before the release.
MasterDuke: I have done a lot of messing around in the last year. Can't claim deeper knowledge though. Do you have a link or something I can have a look at? 16:26
