Hi adam
I think that there are several points to consider:
- first if you review a changeset and say that this is well implemented
fix a real problem, works well, then the harvester (the guy that has
the responsibility
not to break the system) will just have a quick look and this will be
done
- second there is a question of trust. I would not like to have a
system in which
any people can add something that can break the rest. Believe working
on KCP
is sometimes getting on the nerves.
So I think that marcus wanted to say that we need
- more people to give their point of view
- more harvester in specific domain: network, Morphic, concurrency,...

But I would dream about that but we need a good package dependencies
mechanism
before doing that frankly. We should be able to say Squeak 3.7 is built
from xxx7 vv3 bb3.1
and so on.
