Ummmm...would this be the wrong time to ask how the redesign contest is
going on?

A definite aye vote, though perhaps that's an overkill. As long as we're
comparing other Free Software projects, let me just note that on
linux-kernel, patches are part of the regular discussion. Whoever feels
like it, runs a modified kernel, and reports the result. Patches are then
chosen (in part) by the responses of people who have tried them out -- a
very good QA mechanism. Just to brainstorm about the process.
