Easy.  They have a front-spear of integrators that work on one source
tree, and they only apply patches to their own parts of it.  It's like
we only had 1/2 of the core-team with commit-access.

There are good sides of their model, too - you have a centralized
place to throw changes at, and the person taking care of that area
have to either reject or accept - ignoring is not really an option.

And way too many patches end up just rotting in FreeBSD :-(
