I prefer to be more conservative, adding code to CVS should be opt-in
not opt-out. A patch needs a developer-supporter to give it the ok,
versus falling into CVS by default. (see PSC code accountability
requirements) I don't think it is bad that many patches could collect
there, or at least that is better than bad patches falling into CVS by
default because devels were busy that week.

10c, (NZ just abolished the 5c coin, and abolished the 1,2c coins in the
early 90s; but after the exchange rate the 10c is a lot less than it
sounds ;)
