most of us probably won’t be able to find much of a trunk build that we can agree on
I think you’re wrong as a question of fact, but I love the way you’ve expressed yourself.
It’s more like a non-monotonic DVCS; we may all have divergent head states, but almost every commit you have is replicated in millions of other people’s thought caches.
Also, I don’t think the system needs to be Byzantine fault tolerant; indeed we may do well to leave out authentication and error correction in exchange for a higher raw data rate, relying on Release Early Release Often to quash bugs as soon as they arise.
(Rationality as software development; it’s an interesting model, but perhaps we shouldn’t stretch the analogy too far)
