Criteria for accepting changes
- Trunk open to Alpha: Developers work at their own discretion
- Alpha to Beta: Major features, improvements, or refactorings need discussion before they can go in; bug fixes are unencumbered
- Beta to RC1: Bug fixes only; exceptions are sometimes made for important improvements that are isolated and small in terms of code delta
- After RC1: Bug fixes for important defects only, such as build failures, regressions, or security vulnerabilitities
