The slip down memory lane

Just an idea, without _fully_ understanding the infrastructure, man 
power etc ramifications.

Since the move to git, would it not be easier to allow features to 
branch rawhide, get their individual bits together (syncing with 'trunk' 
periodically)... Then like the kernel does, merge back the working bits 
to rawhide for the alpha. Which would essentially then be making sure 
that the features that were merged in play nice together?

Each approved feature gets a branch of what would be rawhide, they can 
do their thing insulated from others till they are ready, like the 
python stuff, having all the packages built aside till they are all 
ready, and then being merged into rawhide when they are ready and tested...

Just a thought.
