I think the main question in my message got lost,

regular" code deployments, I meant less than or equal to a month. Perhaps
even weekly.
In case anyone's wondering what I think of this, I was pretty blunt
last time around:

To be any more blunt than that, I'd have to press the caps lock key ;)
I don't understand how someone who's spent the last eight years working on
wiki (Hawaiian for "fast") software thinks it's acceptable for there to be
a
delay of several months between code being committed and code being
deployed.
I re-read your post from April (a few times) and Brion's reply. The larger
dynamics of this situation (slower code deployment) are becoming clearer to
me, so I suppose it's time for me to back off of this. I think the system
you've proposed (and effectively implemented) is anti-wiki, actively harmful
to volunteer development efforts, and will result in a worse final product,
but that's just the way it goes, I guess.
I still respect and admire all of the work you do.
