The current patch reviews have picked out a lot of potential bugs just 
by looking at it, which we would loose by going branch only.

Again, why are people so affraid of posting intrusive patches for review?

But noone would be working on it, since they have better things to do 
than play guinnea pig. I for one wouldn't be working on it.

Something like userbranches like poky has would be a better idea, people 
still get a no-holds-barred playground and when things work properly 
they can merge it, maybe asking for advice before merging.
