> #include <hallo.h> IMHO it's somewhat silly to "stop the experiment now" and drop testing. Although there are problems with testing, there *are* well-known positives of having it.
Yes, there are problems with current scheme. So one should write down the facts and do a careful, in-detail, emotion-less analysis of each problem and it's reasons. One such analysis is done and made public, most likely a solution will be found that is much less radical than killing everything, and still eliminate the problems, or make the problems smaller. Unless such analysis is done, almost any discussion of this topic is pointless. Period. But such analysis should be done *after* *sarge* *release*. Flaming now will only postpone the release and do nothing more. Probably there are non-technical problems with the uncoming release. But there are technical problems also, yes? Why not eliminate those? If instead of each mail in this thread a single RC bug that affects sarge was fixed, probably there could be *zero* such bugs now.
