This is where I don't quite agree. 

The notion of trust is more interesting than the notion of code purity.
If you trust a small group of 5/6 main developers to have discussions
before writing +2, this is fairly enough.

I am worried that some people might ALWAYS argue that a code is not
pure-enough and this leads to endless flame wars. Free software is a
collaborative process where we improve the code base, just like in
ISO-9001 (release software, describe bug, fix bug, improve). This is a
circular process.

Collaborative commits means more bugs. But also more beta-testers, more
beta testers and more users and in the end a better project. This is
life.

Let me take an image: if you ask you wife to have surgery for a perfect
body before marriage, you won't go very far. 

On the converse, I am in favor of a collaborative approach based on
trust.

Kind regards,
