And how do you envision the mechanisms to work for when and how something is integrated into that testing branch while ensuring that it would be "reasonably stable"?
Some changes are fairly safe. For example, the word-count macro (I keep using it because I think it's a very good example). It's a fairly safe feature. It is not likely to cause chaos. The other example I used was, if I wanted to add a few functions to Calc. That's something simple, that I could do, and the reprecautions for getting it wrong are not catastrophic. These are things that could go on a testing branch. Things that are small and self-contained for one. Which, if they turn out to have a bug, are not likely suddenly make the entire suite unusable.
Look, this was just an idea. A good next step is to discuss it, make suggestions, and improve it until it becomes something workable.
Cheers, Daniel.
