I'd prefer to see this model too; it's sort of what spins was originally
conceived as. However, it was suggested in this thread that this isn't
good enough for people (or just may not be working right), so I was trying
to propose other options that I think would work better than the suggested
'have the project's resources split entirely across all spins, however
many there are'.
