And let me add, on that basis I will spend any energy I have on fixing tools and resist any major changes of process until we have experience with the fixed tools. Changes lead to churn and we should minimize that.
My personal experience is that I spend waaaaaaaay more time dealing with the tools than actually working on library code. Dealing with boost tools is my greatest source of frustration. I shudder to think that even more elaborate tools are in the offing.
