It depends on what you mean. Doing tedious work that could be automated sucks. I'm obsessed with my branches landing. Each branch I have lying around that's unmerged is a burning coal in my mind. I get a little zing of geekly pleasure when my change hits stable and I can delete my local copy of the branch. I'm kind of surprised that people are happy to wait for someone else to land their branch. jml _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
