Volunteer-based or not, I don't know any people who can stand up and say, "there's nothing we can do better than we do now." This applies to virtually every avenue of life.<br /> <br /> Software development might be the first concern, but the development of good practices and processes shouldn't be overlooked or disregarded as less important. Security could even be improved by more planning and more auditing before something is released into the tree, just by that small act of being more careful.<br /> <br /> Like I said, though, i'm not a dev. It just seems common sense to tread lightly and be thoughtful rather than reactionary and quick to decide...as long as it's not at a Debian pace :p
