On the flip side, I think that just allowing HEAD builds would more or less encourage people to just dump builds into the buildsystem. If we -require- you to tag the build before submitting it, I would guess that little barrier would make people think twice before submitting it. We need to strike a balance here between people who might use the build system as a personal development machine (if they don't have PPC for example) and those people who do actually have a reasonable expectation that the package will build for them. A small little barrier like requiring a tag, while not much, is a psychological handbrake on dumping stuff into the buildsystem. Dan
