How does one track -stable in an enterprise environment? I assume that what you mean is "we pick points in -stable that we believe are stable enough and create a snapshot from this point that we test and roll out to production" ...? Am I wrong? I mean, I guess Yahoo has enough resources to literally run every commit to -stable through a full test cycle and push it out to every machine, but my mind boggles to imagine the manpower cost of doing so.
