Please tell me if I'm doing redundant work, and I'll back off.  It is
often difficult to know what work is being done, so without knowledge of
this it is quite likely that redundancy will occur.

I think a downstream might want to wait for others to do something that
nobody ends up doing ... that's a potential result of prioritisation by
the downstream.

(Why did you fix that, James, when there were more important things to
fix?)

I'm puzzled at that concept ... I can't see how SL can do something
without any communication at all.  ;-)

That's a side-effect of strong maintenance principles.  Control of the
code means some control of users.  An alternative is a plethora of
forks.  Lower barriers on a fork demonstrates less control of users.
