Interesting.  If there is a way we could set up the subversion branches to
allow sandbox/beta libraries to be optionally available it could open up a
whole new approach to library development where we give access to new authors
before the review and allow them to develop libraries 'right in place'.  And
reviewers/regression testers could get the new libraries much earlier in the
development cycle.  I know nothing about how this might be accomplished with
subversion branching, but I think it would be a huge win if we could make it
work.
