Ah. So that each relevant team can control their own release process and follow their own schedule. We all commit to a common development "environment" that is only used for the most close to the metal development testing. Then each team chooses to integrate from the common development environment to their own unstable environment on their own schedule. They then control the integration from unstable->testing and testing->stable. We only commit to the common dev environment. > > There's definitely some critical concept missing here... was that it ? :) I'm a bit flat out today, but happy to jump on a phone or do it in IRC if we need more of a back and forth conversation about this. > > -- > Football is a mistake.
