Let's not call the sky falling just yet. We are doing what we can. There 
are several sub projects afoot trying to eliminate some of this pain. If 
you recall, Lukas and I both spent time before feature freeze helping 
keep people in communication.

Secondly and although you aren't 100% on board, there is also the 
tracker project.

Lastly, more people are starting to review code. Even people that can't 
code are starting to at least participate in testing features.
