Tom, you usually pay high attention to design and details. Does this
really look like an efficient process to you? To me, it looks like you
impose a very heavy process to tla developers which discourages
experiments, as forks[1] from tla will have a very hard time keeping
up with already merged submission branches.

[1] I am speaking about personal branches here, with changes not already
