Regarding certs and trust relationships: It all depends on the local 
configuration of each and every developer. In your example everyone would 
need to change his local configuration so that changes in D only show up in 
workspaces once they are approved by the expert K (or if K is the author). 
Is this the problem you thought of that everyone has to change the 
configuration for the new developer?
