We do have differences in perspectives. Sometimes the best way to work through this is to talk it out. My development process is to start with a clean checkout, verify that it passes all tests. Make whatever changes I feel are appropriate. Verify that the result still passes all tests. And then commit. From my perspective, keeping the functional tests running clean is a discipline that benefits us all. Going off and making a bunch of experimental changes without respecting that immediately prior to a SOAPBuilder event is a bit... er, um, unwise. My preference is that whavever changes are safe to merge back to HEAD should be done so ASAP. Everything else doesn't make this round of SOAPBuilders. - Sam Ruby
