As already noted, we really do need to move to a QA per-revision system 
longer-term.

As for qa-deployable, can you summarise the problems with using qa-ok?  I 
didn't see any hard issues in your email but then I might have been reading it 
wrong.  You left me tantalisingly close to understanding why when you said:

but it would be great to enumerate these implications!
