What this means practically is that as we've seen with Android, we're going to seriously lag releases as it won't be the responsibility of any single person or group of people.
As a note on this, I think I and/or whoever wants to be responsible for Android builds, needs to just understand how to get into the workflow for updating releases with the latest Tor binaries. In addition, it would be good to understand when a release is optional, vs recommended vs. absolutely necessary. I don't quite have my head around that yet.
At some point, we had a good flow going b/c Erinn had Android as part of her critical path of updates to do, and I was regularly pushing new ready to ship builds, instead of getting sidetracked on unshippable code to handle esoteric Android issues.
Lastly, I think what we did with 1.0.4 made sense, where we just updated the Tor binary and not the Android code, smoked test that, then shipped, made a lot of sense.
