I think we could/should agree on that a rollback of a cs in the unstable
stream
should be the very last option to get out of a jam eg. a update that
screw up seriously. People comitting to be part of unstable should be
credited for their comitment and we should not pull the carpet under
their feet at every twist and turn. We need people working for enhancing
Squeak and we need to value
their time and effort.
Ommitting the bad updates and their revert should be easy when the
unstable updates are moved over to stable
