Questions someone making

contributions to an existing packagewill need to ask

Which version of the package shouldI use?

Does my fix work with latest code? Have I broken anything?

Need to choose a Green version of thepackage

Change Flow Today Changes arrive weeks after they are made

Feedback is slow and not easy to understand Not easy for package owners to recreate our build & test

Even good package owners find it hard to avoid breaks
