I don't think that is the right policy. Everybody (including Malcolm) should validate.
If you contribute code to the linux kernel, comprehensive testing of the code is a requirement, too.
The analogy is flawed. It is like asking the developers of _gcc_ to ensure that the Linux kernel still builds after every modification to the gcc project code base. The projects are different, so the suggested requirement would be an unreasonable burden.
I think an even better analogy is probably comparing it to developer of GCC changing the libc implementation of another compiler or vice versa. -- Johan
