How can we make sure that changes are properly tested _before_ they're
checked in?
Should non-trivial changes to dissector behavior be checked into a branch, and could the buildbot (or a buildbot with some more hardware thrown at it - there's at least one developer I know of who could contribute to that) be usable as a "test this branch" machine, with a branch passing the test being propagated to the main branch? 


  The Buildbot environment MUST be able to test the code; i.e. captures
  that exercise the code should be added to the capture menagerie if
  they aren't already there.
What if the change was done as a result of a private capture that can't be added to the menagerie?
