Thanks, that's an excellent thread. I think you forgot an important point: * lack of practical QA: no review workflow and no appropriate tools for reviewing I could start a long text block about why reviewing is mandatory for QA, but let's just think about it this way: What do you think would happen if the linux kernel switched to CVS and gave the most active 250 collaborators direct push access to the main Linus repository? I hope greg k-h does not read this. He'd probably get a heart attack. Also: people seem to think we don't have enough manpower for a review workflow. No, it's really the other way around. If you make collaboration difficult, then you need a lot more manpower.
