Totally agreed. One issue now is that Walter has converged briskly on 
the simplistic conclusion "no more steenking breakages" instead of 
learning git and designing a useful process around it. That way the 
process remains broken instead of being identified as the main issue and 
fixed. I have advocated privately in much stronger terms than I could 
afford publicly that we must fix the process and exercise good judgment 
about changing the language - all to no avail. "No more breakages" is 
like taking an aspirin for the fever caused by gangrene.

I think with dread about what's coming when completing shared will be on 
the table. We'll be looking at not breaking code that was by definition 
broken.
