I would expect that when more developers start to become comfortable with
distributed srm systems (like git) this starts to be easier and we can
avoid such problems.
Therefor I think we should let the progress of people pushing their stuff
into repos, as they want, drive the strictness of our release schedule. And
vice versa.
In other words; let people get comfortable with the techniques and
technology to enable this much easier at a similar pace as we move to more
strict time-based releases.
