I think that VERIFIED could have a place in a serious quality management |
| 7 |
system that closes the loop on every change. If we had a test branch |
| 8 |
and a release branch the VERIFIED might be the glue that moves patches |
| 9 |
from one to the other. |

However, we don't have anything like this in place right now, and so |
| 12 |
this is really just spam. Having the extra state does no good without |
| 13 |
all the processes that go with it. |

Would Gentoo have a higher level of quality if we did some CMM-5 |
| 16 |
practices like these? Absolutely! Would it struggle to keep up with |
| 17 |
Debian Stable? Absolutely! I don't think we really have the resources |
| 18 |
to pull off something like this. As it is we struggle with the current |
| 19 |
~arch/arch system. |

I'd get rid of it... |
