I don't think what Artem said is quite correct. SQE may not do manual testing But the integrator certainly does. The final steps of our integration process has always included certain manual tests (applets, SwingSet, Java2Demo) on all the platforms (Windows, Linux, Solaris and now Mac) on the final built bits. We will need to maintain that process.

Lana -- Can you handle doing these manual tests once a week?

Whilst hotspot and language changes may need to coordinate to be in the same place sooner rather than later there is no such need for client changes. So no benefit accrues from a shared forest there.

The need for coordinated changes may be lower, but there are still benefits in terms of mixing code earlier and focusing the integration and testing process.
