My only concern is having more people affected by broken code.  I don't
know how Emacs developers works because I don't track their daily work,
so maybe this isn't a relevant issue...

Sometimes in the past, a MH-E developer would _try_ something, possibly
a new way of handling something.  He would check the new code into CVS
and it might break the codebase a little while it was being finalized,
but it was checked in so other developers could try it out and give
feedback.  I wouldn't feel comfortable doing this anymore knowing that
I'm affecting Emacs for a far greater number of users.  I prefer that we
check in released version of MH-E that are known to work.
