My only concern is having more people affected by broken code. I don't know how Emacs developers works because I don't track their daily work, so maybe this isn't a relevant issue... Sometimes in the past, a MH-E developer would _try_ something, possibly a new way of handling something. He would check the new code into CVS and it might break the codebase a little while it was being finalized, but it was checked in so other developers could try it out and give feedback. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing this anymore knowing that I'm affecting Emacs for a far greater number of users. I prefer that we check in released version of MH-E that are known to work. -- Peter S.
