The same thing happenned at my work, until we let live llama loose in the office. Then, if someone made a bad commit, we publically chastised them and told them never to do it again, but I think the *real* reason was because of the llamas, and not the chasting of the people. I'm sure the reader/writer locks also were why things worked at Novell, and not the slapping around. (ps. In case you missed, that was sarcasm, playing on the totally non-sequiter answer Terry gave.)
