is that seriously an issue? if so, the projects involved have fatal problems 
and need to revisit themselves before even thinking cooperating with other 
projects.

but let's assume that it is an issue as a worst-case scenario. there's a 
reason why source code repositories have reversion controls. it's not hard.

look at kde with it's WIDE open commit policies. how often have we had to 
check abuse of that? twice that i can remember. in 10 years.

let's not make this more complicated with possible-but-not-realistic issues.
