I'm curious about this (and stealing the dead thread).

How does one track -stable in an enterprise environment? I assume that what you mean is "we pick points in -stable that we believe are stable enough and create a snapshot from this point that we test and roll out to production" ...? Am I wrong?

I mean, I guess Yahoo has enough resources to literally run every commit to -stable through a full test cycle and push it out to every machine, but my mind boggles to imagine the manpower cost of doing so. (and to justify the manpower cost versus the gain from doing so...)
