Works well for me. I don't know how Axel picks his SVN snapshots for
atrpms but if it's random then he and I are very very lucky. Never had a
showstopping bug in about a year.

It's true that if I hit a bug I have to work around it until the next
snapshot whereas you only have to work around it until the bug is fixed.

Both of us have to be willing to backrev if necessary and sometimes
might have to restore a database from backup.
