Nagging an encouragement don't make it easy or simple; doing multiple things at once guarantees that hard or complex things will get sidelined. What we have is primarily, I think, purely sideffect of: - 4 hour test suites [highly delayed feedback] - testfix *existing* [after your 4 hour check, it can still bounce] - a high rate of spurious errors (> 1% is high, and I'm pretty sure thats the case) - folk working on many things at once (which is itself a result of the 4 hour queue) -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
