Why so? Being able to branch and start working -- including making newbie
mistakes -- completely safely in revision control, and being able to expose
that to the broader project is an *awesome* way to lower the barrier to
entry for new developers. You can be doing significantly more useful (and
just plain "more") work, faster.
