Unfortunately for Linus, actions speak louder than words and his action here was "So I pulled this now".

Seems to me like this has been going on since 2.1.x days (or so it seems to someone who isn't doing kernel development myself). It isn't so much the process (a merge window of a month, versus a merge window of a year or two in the 2.1, 2.3, and 2.5 cases), but what happens to patches which come in after they should. Time to take up a collection for the Linus backbone fund?
