Feb 09 16:32:22 graydon I initially wrote monotone in order to support
the use-case of a "monotonically improving branch", where there's a view
of a branch which never gets worse, constructed by selecting only the
branch certs signed by an automatic tester.
Feb 09 16:32:41 graydon this way a customer or user who wanted "new, but
never worse" software could view the branch that way
Feb 09 16:33:22 graydon or alternatively, a developer could configure
their update rules to exclude stuff other people wrote which isn't
working yet
