That being said, I think it's pretty clear that many people in the Drupal community are really interested in a solution for this. A sense of agreement of how this problem could be tackled could really foster progress. Perhaps I'm being naive, but it does seem like some of the tools that various folks in the community are using are getting closer to being quite functional for lots of people. With some focused development time (a sprint perhaps?), it seems as though some of the more daunting pieces (reverting changes for example) might be approachable.
indeed, which is why we are having this discussion.
Anyway, I was just hoping to bring some awareness to one of the tools that does exist now, and could potentially serve as a model to build from. Of course, I'm not even the author, so maybe Greg should chime in :) If we intend to build from it, we need to identify the issues relating to it, and the work required to make it work perfectly, which is all I stated.
We need to inspect all the ways people are currently working around this, so we can choose the best mechanism to focus on.
