Re: dealing with AD reviews in the week before the IESG call

[Barry Leiba <[e-mail]>]

Speaking only for myself: I would always prefer to be reviewing the
latest version available at the time I'm reviewing, and I don't care
whether it's not the same version that another AD reviewed, nor that I
might start reviewing one version and see another posted before I'm
done.

In other words, I'd rather have updates posted when the judgment of
the authors, working groups, and sponsoring ADs says they should be.
