Here are some funky terms you may find here and there:
Hook The 'hook' is actually the oldest part of the Bonsai
code. The idea is, every so often (at Netscape, it was
every day), some build engineers will close the tree
and make sure that everything still builds properly.
If it doesn't, then the build engineers want to have a
list of people they can go beat up, this being the list
of people who changed the tree since the last time they
successfully built the tree. Those people are "on the
hook"; they are held responsible for any probs that
arise.
