No, it is not naive at all. I (and the core team as well as others) have been working the past 16 months to get procedures like this into place and for some things that works pretty well. Until now there has not really been a need for a strict package testing procedure, but with variants that might just become the case. The question is how to find a way to best implement this. making things as easy as possible, while still requiring a thorough check for variants enabled packages.
I unfortunately can't test gimp2-svg; it's in a variant because it requires far too much of GNOME2 to be installed, which I don't have the resources to do.
Not at all. There are enough that already hinted they want to sponsor hardware. As soon as Fink INC. is reality, that will be a possibility.My general advise would be to acquire a G5 or similar machine where selected people can have shell access. This machine would do nothing else but compile packages and their variants.Nice dream :-)

If any of the user-mode patches had made it into CVS, I would be able to test on an OpenDarwin machine, but all of those are bit-rotted to uselessness (although I realize it would have caused more problems on its own).
