There are lots of organizations that have embraced trunk based or other fast-path development cycles. In general, it leads to better sanitization practices as it's too easy to break things and devs get more careful and setup their own guard rails. As opposed to the last place I worked, where there were 2-3 month+ long branches alive in various stages of features/testing/bugfixes. THAT was painful. Give me trunk to production with a small team over that mess any day.
