Subject:   Why is the STABLE branch not so stable anymore?

Several times in the last few weeks people have broken the STABLE branch,
sometimes for days at a time. Why has this started happening? Is there no
process to prevent this from happening?

I have a wild idea. How about making everyone who commits to the STABLE
branch actually:

  1. Checkout a clean copy.
  2. make buildworld.
  3. Actually test the programs they changed.
  
These three steps would have prevented each of the problems in the last few
weeks. Does no one test anymore? Is no one required to test?

Perhaps a process should be put into place. (unless there already is one in
which case someone should start cracking the whip over some backs).
