But I would like to say:

people test/review code less because "we can always re-roll the
package if it breaks"
* If we would be going to be doing this, I would personally
prefer if the person that made that code mistake is the
responsible for rolling out the packages and not the release
engineer (that is Heiko for the most part). Doing a release
every month is already quite some work.
P.S: Heiko feel free to disagree on the last bullet point above
if you think you'd be fine with doing as many re-rolls as
needed.
I somewhat share your concerns about the less-testing-attitude, but I
wouldn't mind rolling out a hotfix in serious cases, if it doesn't happen
all the time.

Heiko
