Is ReviewBoard a good thing?

[Matthew Williams]

You can use kanban for a unified view of reviews, but reviewboard is better
- you are able to see which reviews are missing comments and which ones are
approved but not landed without having to click through multiple windows.
Also the kanban board isn't viewable by everyone AFAIK.

Everyone else has already commented on the things I like - and the things I
don't: I like being able to have parent branches* and the unified review
queue, but I do worry that the benefit of these doesn't justify the cost of
another tool.

I do think it's too early to tell though. Why not give it another week or 2
then discuss in the cross teams if we want to keep it or not

* I worry that parent  (pre req) branches might be an anti-pattern. A topic
for another thread maybe
