NAK.  It's complete rubbish and does things to the FD code that it
really shouldn't.  Android needs to completely redo the interface, and
there's been absolutely no work towards that.

This is exactly the sort of attitude I feared about when you started the
whole staging concepts, and it sounds like a good reason to disband
staging entirely, given that it's been mostly useless except for
boasting peoples commit statistics.
