Matt, How long would you estimate, for a search changelist to hit the production at Google? I've got friends working there. Prepare to be surprised.

  I think you've got a bit of a surprise in store for you, too, when you find out what Matt does for a living.

    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/ 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"?
