I was more concerned about tree breakage for non-tested code.  When
developing something bleeding edge it is often useful to just commit
some stuff and have it sorted out later.  In head this is more
dangerous.  A small AR724X development branch would be ideal for
this.  Branching is cheap with SVN these days.
