I've been running sutar6 (plus the resolution of some conflicts with
Rod's scsi changes) ever since it was released.  I haven't noticed
anything unusual.

Well, I usually thoroughly test my code, and when I'm ready to commit
it, SUP current and rebuild, do about an hour or so of testing again,
and commit.  Then I re-sup, merge conflicts, and retest to see if I've
left anything out or botched the commit.  For future commits, I plan
on checking out a brand new copy of the kernel sources (I sup CVS) in 
this phase since otherwise its hard to tell if you left anything out 
of the commit.

I think it depends on what you're doing.  In the case of the aic7770
driver, there are very few people that would be able to review my
changes.  I guess it is more of an ownership kind of thing, but it
would be nice to have a real policy on this.
