Thanks again Frank for braving through my lengthy response and giving another well-reasoned reply. I'll try to "trim" a bit and may not necessarily address...
... As I finished my previous post, Im liking the term "value" more and more. "The codeline" is a "value stream" of sorts. And the "derivation" relationships...
... Yes, this is what I had in mind when I started about "value". You have put it into words better than I could. Thank you! ... I had though only of value as...
... I wish I could take credit for it. I got it from the "Lean" litertaure that talks about Value Stream mapping, and from David Anderson's writings about...
... Could be. Or perhaps if we could better communiate/connect these strategies with associated costs/value we could more readily convey just how much more...
... With respect to branch, it is important to explicitly decide whether the code line will be merged back to the original branch or not. If not, you must take...
Yes, so right you are... The trick here is not to let this become a precedence, because it does not take too many such branches to create more codelines that...
Yes I agree that there is both version-space and product-space and a cost/value associated with these types of branching decisions. On many occasions...
... Are you implying that branching should be used to accomodate for product variants, rather than solving variants in the architecture? ... The UCM streaming...

... Yes, in some cases. We put different components on different branches. This allows one component to go to release while other stay on mainline development....
Thanks for your positive comments. I'm certainly not versed in as many CM tool, but I can attest to the frustration of constantly dealing with PMs that think...
One more consideration: We are currently very busy outsourcing our software development. Our ODMs are coming back with very appealing project estimates that...

I wonder if the below is converging toward a restatement of "the Law of Demeter" (LoD) w.r.t branching. Those unfamiliar with LoD can refer to an intro/FAQ I...

Hi Brooke! No offense taken :-) I see these principles as a way of helping get to that point. The principles are very basic/fundamental things which by...
