Someone that want to do that is naturally entirely free to do that 
investigation. But please be clear on that note and say that there is a pretty 
good chance the work will have to be thrown away.

The technical aspect of the conversation has been rehashed a lot and Chani's 
email is to stop that discussion for a while.  Lets see what the goals are we 
actually want to achieve and then see if those can be achieved.

Lets avoid an inmates-are-running the asylum where we are talking about how 
cool and easy it would be to link up git and reviewboard and some other parts 
with minimal manual input but in the end the actual users will go like;
ehm, but, thats not how I want to work!
