One of the reasons that ON has the quality that it does is that we do multiple cross checks. Everything must get reviewed by at least one other person (two other people near code freezes), and there must be at least a third person (the CRT advocate) who has done a high-level sanity check (e.g., did the change get reviewed by the appropriate people). That process will not go away, but it will be made open to non-Sun employees. We're also pretty aggressive about testing and backing out broken bits. That won't change, either. mike
