What does "we" mean here. Presumably developers working on modules can
do this when they feel ready.
Yes i think thats implied from all the previous discussions we've had
around this, that has to be up to the devs doing the work.
I'm not totally convinced about the need for a contrib folder in
trunk. The point of it sounds like so that things can be removed when
a release is done, but why remove things? I'd rather get feedback from
users as soon as possible so prefer to include even work in progress
items in releases.
Some reasons for not including these things in a release:
1. They might not be buildable.
2. The developer(s) might know they don't work, in which case getting
feedback saying "feature X doesn't work" wouldn't be very useful.
3. Users might expect that things in a release should work (at least to
some reasonable extent) and they might not be very happy to put time
into trying to use a feature and eventually find that the feature is
incomplete or not ready.
