Got it :)

I still know for a fact that, it takes at-least a month on average, for a search change list to reach production. Would you disagree Matt?

I'm an ex-Googler, and I disagree. Before I left the GWS team (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/01/29/google_web_server/) became a model for how frequent, stable releases should be done within the company. That's all I'll say.

I've just recently spoken with my friends, and I know for a fact that it atleast takes a month from point of checkin to review/test/stage/production. If you disagree, I think what you are talking about, is probably an exception and not the norm.

Being secretive about release cycles is pointless stealth.

What else do you "know for a fact"?
