11 Honestly, *breaking* the tree knowingly should be a no-no. In fact, it
12 should be more of a no-no than pissing ${tribal-possessive-developer}
13 off. If someone gets miffed because you (QA and/or treecleaners) *fix*
14 their package after they've been non-responsive, then I reckon the
15 problem is *entirely* on that developer and not on QA.

17 Ciaran has brought attention to a very important thing -- QA seems to
18 take a backseat to a few things, and it is actually a little disturbing
19 that it does.
