Hi,

An interesting point. I guess I figure there is something between massive
merges and the alternative of breaking master. Isn't it fair to say that we
shouldn't ever be breaking master even if we're doing cool new stuff? (yes,
I know I have done it too, it's the way things are just now).

And I do not see how a changed workflow would change this behavior. I have been asking people for ages to run make check before they push. No happening as I can clearly see when running it myself. You think this will now longer be the case for the develop branch? I would think it will be. Which means that someone has to test things and poke people to have it fixed up before develop gets merged into master.

Who will handle that part? The developer who already did not run make check or did disable some configure options which did hide some problems from him (disabled cxx bindings on developers side is a big source of frustration for me when simply trying to have our normal all, check and examples targets build)

I simply fail to see how the new develop buffer branch would fix all these problems. It would hide them in through one more level of abstraction, is my feeling.

Stefan Schmidt
