Yes.  I agree.  I have no problems with it being bolluxed up for 1 day
or 1 week or even if it will gain us a lot, 2 weeks.  Beyond that, it
becomes too painful for me to use the tree.  I susepct others would
agree with threasholds in this general area, some tigheter some
looser.

: I think I will agree that requiring UP to compile and work (for

Yes.  I object to having the tree be unusable for development work for 
"on the order of months" with no clear plan.  It has taken me too many 
messages to reach this one sentence summary.  Sorry about that.
