Colin this looks great. One question comes to mind:

As the standard of quality grows in this space, what happens to commit  
access? Do we at some point switch over to the "fully governed by all  
the familiar coding and commit standards used so far" approach? Or so  
we move the code out of the "incubation" space into the "current,  
shipping" space? And how do we decide when this should happen?
