All,
While spending the past few days/weeks in CodeReview, it has become abundantly clear to me that we absolutely must get away from this idea of doing huge refactorings in our working copies and landing them in trunk without any warning. The examples I'm going to use here are the RequestContext, Action and Blocking refactors.
I mostly agree with your observations. Another problem with the current approach is that it is very hard to change architectural decisions. For example with the Action rewrite I'm not very happy with the coupling between interface and back end, which I stated on CR, but really this is a fundamental issue that is very hard to modify.
I agree however also with the other commentators on this tread. There will be no review on things done in branches, they'll just bitrot away.
Unfortunately, I don't see a satisfactory solution to this. Maybe others?
