Maybe, but consolidations should have dedicated resources including a tech lead, gatekeeper and PM and cteam members to review changes and integrations and make sure quality standards are met. SFW does all this. I don't recommend one or two person consolidations. If you don't have the staffing to maintain your own consolidation, established ones should be used. Plus, the SFW team is working toward more scalable builds, so developers don't have to build every pkg to integrate. Cheers, Jim
