Hi again, I can't find where it was mentioned (but this message, William, seems to be closest), but someone suggested unvalidated libraries could go into a specific location in SVN, waiting for further integration and validation. There once was a "casualities" directory for this purpose: when a committed code was breaking something or wasn't JSG compliant for too long, it would go here waiting for cure.
We could use this "casualities" directory again, maybe renaming it "pond", where people would throw some code, maybe later integrated, maybe not. These files from the pond would never be released, nor considered by buildbots. The only restriction would be the license: every files put in the pond should be under ZLIB license, we know we can use them, without to ask author every time.
