That policy was never Ben Reser's or my intention when we started
asking for multiple sigs on files. Asking for at least six committers
(3 Unix, 3 Windows) to sign off on a release is overkill that just
isn't warranted. It's nice-to-have when we have a hyper-active
committership; but there'll come a day when we need to push out a
release quickly and we don't have swarms of committers looking over
the RM's shoulder to get either 6 people to sign off on a release or
force people to go to heroic steps and test on *both* Win32 and Unix
in order for their votes to count. -- justin
