We have been talking about it between us.  Originally, Ingo was opposed 
to it exactly *because* he wanted to keep the development as open as 
possible.  After the merge window craziness is over, we may want to 
revisit this.

I'm not saying we're doing everything right at the moment; heck, we're 
still figuring out how to work this on three people.  However, I want to 
set the record straight - Ingo *especially* has been concerned to keep 
development open from the very beginning.
