Let's just see. If there is not enough human-power for updating AC there will 
be nothing we could do about it.

In case there is some update-powers what is your proposition/rule of process 
of making updates in Ac ?
1. Commit, 
2. STBR (in commit log enough ? , or send directly to pld-devel ? , or to 
given power-admins of Ac ) ?
3. If build success FTP-move to test / ready ? when to ac-updates ? When there 
will be confimations of stuff working from users ?

Thats looks more like not-so-fresh-Th than Ac-update. ;)  
I would suspect if we do not have power for updates, we will not be able even 
more to  make that big change ...
