Well, taking the amount of extension we have it can end up being
problematic. Think about a release manager the days before a release.
That poor person basically has to review every patch to make sure it's
good. Now these extensions can come from "everywhere" so for every
extension he has to know which repository paths to watch. The same
problems exist for people trying to watch whether a fix is fixed in all
active branches... so that can be problematic in cases where different
extensions branch different ways.
Oh and one more thing for the RM: A tagged release has to be tagged with
all extension so at least it needs a script to resolve the svn:externals
(yes, that's what i meant) to copies.

So maybe I had a nice idea, but that idea still needs thinking or is
stupid :-)
