I'm sorry, but I got slightly upset by reading your statement. If
anything, surely you must admit that the FreeBSD process better
resembles my suggestion in this very thread than our current release
process? Let's see:

* RM laying down the law - check.
* Developers committing to branch - check.
* Joint code review - check.

It is nothing at all like our current process.
