And doing quite an amazing bit of work. Automation was better at one point of time, but the visual comparison of results at least cannot be replaced, and the sleuth work for pinpointing actual causes of problems is also something that has become a rather remarkable improvement over what automation could deliver. This certainly is not about improving the contributions to our process that you deliver, it's about making them more effective in order to attract more new and possibly old developers. Whether this is effective is something we'll have to see: while our contribution procedures may appear baroque, the code base to actual work on is byzantine in comparison. -- David Kastrup
