Sure, but which of these plans make more sense: 1) - Solve the QA problem for our repo configurations as they exist - Expand the QA solution to new, multiple, disparate and conflicting repositories 2) - Expand into new, multiple, disparate and conflicting repositories - Then try to solve the QA problem Honestly, before we can do multiple experimental repositories of this, that, and the other, we need to get our *OWN* house in order.
