... Keep in mind that MC is fairly good at merging (and where it isn't it needs fixing ;-) so we ought to be able to take the results of various projects and simply merge them in.
Yes, that is one of the cool aspects of the new process, merging should be a lot easier. And the MC tools will be getting a good workout, and maybe even some fixes/enhancements.
Actually, both the Morphic Splitters and the Toolbuilder work involve some detangling, and we'd probably want to look at incorporating both of those earlier rather than later. (At a certain point we just have to pick which order these are incorporated... e.g. 1. Morphic Splitters 2. Toolbuilder refactoring 3. previous 3.9alpha changes... whichever goes first has the least amount of merging to do.)
As far as I can tell 1. and 2. don't overlap at all (Brian could say more about this). 3. should probably go last since it has the finest granularity and therefore is easiest to merge.
Makes sense to me. We could possibly do just a very few 3.9alpha changes (preferably non-Morphic/Toolbuilder related) first, just to try out the new process. But then do the Morphic Splitters/Toolbuilder stuff before much of anything else is done.
