11 Thanks, that's an excellent thread.

13 I think you forgot an important point:
14
15 * lack of practical QA: no review workflow and no appropriate tools for
16 reviewing
17
18 I could start a long text block about why reviewing is mandatory for QA,
19 but let's just think about it this way:
20 What do you think would happen if the linux kernel switched to CVS and
21 gave the most active 250 collaborators direct push access to the main
22 Linus repository?
23
24 I hope greg k-h does not read this. He'd probably get a heart attack.

26 Also: people seem to think we don't have enough manpower for a review
27 workflow. No, it's really the other way around. If you make
28 collaboration difficult, then you need a lot more manpower.
