Which would include giving the "monkeys" complete access to the 37s  
application code (because I think THIS is what all the patches get  
tested against, I think). The problem is that there are tests which  
are not included in Rails and are effectively proprietary, but 37s  
(being the core maintainers of the framework) have the privilege of  
verifying patches against their own applications before the patches  
are rolled out.

Not to offend anyone - just a thought.
