As an unreformed ~arch user with the scars to prove it, I know I'm a tester for a lot of this stuff and relish the opportunity. =:^) But there's been times I've shuddered at the thought of something I've dealt with hitting stable and I'm sure I'm not an exception in that regard, so anything that would lose us that valuable testing buffer had better have a VERY good reason. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
