No, this discussion came up because some people seem to be
confused about the role of /hipster. This post from Alaisdair
Lumsden clearly described the purpose of /hipster:

Hi All,
Back in the days of oi-build, we tried to have a process, and enforce quality,
and it just resulted in super slow progress followed by near-death. Andrzej
didn't contribute at all as he didn't like the bureaucracy, he just wants to
hack-and-go.
So after all that, I basically think Andrzej is completely right with his
current approach - breaking things should be allowed. You can't make
an omelette quickly and easily without breaking a few eggs.
Hipster is an experimental development branch for making rapid progress. If
you break something, you can fix it after, no big deal.
I do think that /dev should get moved to /release, and /hipster should go to
/dev. Not many know about hipster beyond the oi-dev list. It would show people
in the outside world that progress is being made on OI.

Regards,
Alasdair
