But all the DVCS in the world doesn't let us see code that is never uploaded in the first place. I can't even count the number of programs that are only even known by oral tradition, mentioned only in passing, then never to be heard of again. "Oh, I'll upload it when it's ready." Years go past: nobody has even defined 'ready.' Nowadays when someone says "it's not ready for the world to see" I just read "I am a liar and I have nothing." Plan 9 is fully self-sufficient; code review tools don't review code. People review code. They just have to see the code first. khm
