I disagree. x.1 is mostly done in the trunk, x.2+ mostly in a
stabilized branch. It is my opinion that this requires different
skillsets for most of the time.
a release coalesces around some vision for that release, not on a
skillset. it is precisely because there are different skillsets
required that whoever does x.1 should do x.2+, for three reasons:
- cohesion of vision for the x.* releases
- self-improvement in the "maintenance" skillset for x.1 folks
- self-improvement in the ".1 release" skillset for (x+1).1 folks
what often happens when skillset is taken as the arbiter is that the
x.2+ folks lose the original vision of the x.1 folks, through mis- or
non-communication more than anything, and widen the maintenance duties
to "fix design bugs". then you get into "how dare that Mere QA Dude
change My code" and other class{ic,ist} organizational problems.
i'd say "that way lies madness" but for the stupifying regularity (and
hence evident normalcy) of such an approach's consequence.
anyway, that's all i have to say on the matter.
