Right.

So, the real problem here is that the people doing the actual work
have severe problems with the current workflow.

It seems to me the issues here are:

A) Do we agree in general to a more disciplined tests / review / accept cycle.
B) What specifically are the problems that y'all are having, and what
options are there for solving them.

Would someone consider writing a workflow PEP for discussion?  We need
the use-cases clearly defined here, otherwise I feel we are going to
get lost on the DVCS discussion.

See you,

Matthew
