The current patch reviews have picked out a lot of potential bugs just by looking at it, which we would loose by going branch only. Again, why are people so affraid of posting intrusive patches for review? >>> Although there were 0 comments (among those none in favour, but also >>> none against), I still think that org.oe.{stable,testing(dev),unstable} >>> with a strict only-cherry-picking-from-right-to-left-allowed policy >>> would improve our workflow and overall stability. >> That will just boil down to people only using stable or testing > > All but those who actually work on the branch -- which sounds like a > good thing to me, since that's what stable and testing are about. But noone would be working on it, since they have better things to do than play guinnea pig. I for one wouldn't be working on it. Something like userbranches like poky has would be a better idea, people still get a no-holds-barred playground and when things work properly they can merge it, maybe asking for advice before merging. regards, Koen
