Maybe we should stop with the theory and just setup a revision control system. Of course, Dan will stick with his way of development and releasing. In parallel, Dan and all others good tinker with the new system and then decide if it is an improvement or not.

Personally I like Bazaar because it seemed very intuitive and easy to me when I used it.
