In principle, yes. I'd need to be persuaded that the net was positive -
that the rest of you got sped up more than I got slowed down. Past
experience makes me skeptical of such claims.

The perspective of a noob might be helpful here: Before I was
allowed to push to master I routinely had to stop work for hours (a
couple times >1 day) because I needed to make a commit and there
was no one around to merge it. I am not aware of any change in my
bug production rate around the increased permissions that isn't
directly attributable to generally increased experience.<br>
<br>
I am unsure of how "the rest of us" will be more productive if even
the noobs are randomly ground to a halt waiting.<br>
