Yes, we need to consider it. Obviously to make that decision we'll need
to understand the costs and the required infrastructure changes to
support it. We'll also need to reevaluate some assumptions that I think
are commonly held and determine which we're willing to change in order
to support the core goal of shipping faster.

I'm not at all sure that this decision needs to be reached this week, or
even in order for us to talk and propose ideas for various branching
approaches, though.

(FWIW, I wouldn't equate mandatory with silent - there are ways of doing
automatic updates that are not silent, and I find that silent ends up
putting people on tilt a bit)

cheers,
mike
