17 Well, depending how you want spin it, I either did or didn't mean that.
18 I'm just saying that if we're going to basically give them everything
19 that a "developer" gets sans commit access to the tree (which not even
20 all official developers have by the way), why not take the extra step
21 with them? I can tell you, for example, that if we encountered any
22 folks good enough to be a mips AT, we'd probably just skip that whole
23 business and make them an arch dev. I guess what I'm *really* asking is
24 whether this GLEP is necessary?
