I think we want broad ranging feedback - especially given the
multi-platform nature of Puppet.  Obviously not every patch is going get
comment and ultimate accountability for this rests with Luke and/or me
but I think it's a good model.  It at least makes the development
process somewhat more transparent and hopefully encourages discussion
and debate.

This would be my preferred approach.
