People make mistakes.  Anyways my point is that requiring a peer review for
trivial changes is just unneeded bureaucracy.  Even for non-trivial changes,
it doesn't make sense to force someone who knows their eclass inside out and
knows what they're doing to get a review from someone else who may not have a
clue.  I'm not saying that peer-review shouldn't be done; it's a very good
idea, especially if you're new, or unsure of your changes, or you have a team
consisting of more than one person.  In fact I would support a policy that
said eclasses need to be reviewed before committing.  But enforcing it through
cvs is never going to fly.  Just use common sense.

If we were having ongoing issues with people breaking eclasses then I could
see where you're coming from.  But as it is, it's a non-problem.
