Code review comment for lp:entertainer/future

So... stuff is broken. Very broken.

Trunk is broken for Karmic users and so is future. However, we're doing all of our work on future. This would be good *except* we lose the benefit of Tarmac landing our branches.

The whole reason we started using Tarmac was to avoid the problem of a human gatekeeper who may get too busy to merge code. Since we are now only using future, we totally lose what Tarmac was doing for us so there is code that has been idly sitting approved. I think we can all agree that unmerged *approved* code that is not merged is a delta that is a bad thing.

Therefore, I'm requesting we merge future into trunk, primarily for the sole benefit of not being blocked by human gatekeeper so we can make forward progress again (no offense Paul, I realize you're really busy).

I would love to use future again in the future, but I think it suffers from the human gatekeeper problem and should be configured to use Tarmac if possible.

I'm making this request at the jeopardy of the stability of trunk just because of how broken things are anyway. At this point, I think future is much better code than trunk.

P.S. Let me try filing this against the correct branch this time. :P
