Hi cees

I think that when a group of people works together we have a better 
chance to get good result because everybody is doing mistake, me the 
first.

Now I would not like that everything gets automatically accepted before 
we have serious tests
to check that people are not breaking what other are doing. A simple 
example is all the code that I'm moving away from SystemDictionary. I 
would really hate that a new changeset breaks the layers we are 
fighting to build.

So we should make the distinction. I think that having tests would be 
the best way of detecting that kind of situation.
