I'm specifically requesting not to have checkin privileges.  So there.

I see two problems:

1. When patches go thru you, you at least eyeball them.  This catches bugs
and design errors early.

2. For a multi-platform app, few people have adequate resources for testing;
e.g., I can test under an obsolete version of Win95, and NT if I have to,
but that's it.  You may not actually do better testing than that, but having
patches go thru you allows me the comfort of believing you do <wink>.
