How about this approach: - we designate a very small number of companies with the capacity and track record of major feature integration, as being authorised to short cut community QA before integrating major features (only);

Minor features and bug fixes are less likely to break something than major features. It is precisely *because* some of the features pending signoff are so large and broadly-scoped that it is difficult to properly test them. Part of becoming more "agile," if we must use that term, is to learn to keep our contributions manageable and feature-specific. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
