Ewan - Just to make sure it's straight in my head (and for everyone else): You're suggesting that everyone works in master, and that Alex will pull everything that looks right from master to 4.0? And by "everyone", we're talking both committers committing directly into master, as well as folks submitting review requests via review board? Alex - What sort of merge schedule do you think you'll aim for? Daily? Ongoing through the workday? What sort of indication do you want when we know something should go into 4.0? -chip
