It wouldn't be the first time that they've effectively tested software by pushing it out to their user-base. PuuuuuuuuuulseAudio! I actually think that it's a fundamental problem with their software distribution model -- there's very little scope for someone to be both - Using the most up to date distribution version && - Switching between 'stable' implementations of certain features and 'testing' ones. (Yes, I know about the different repos; I just think that so much basic functionality is only available through "experimental", "third-party", "testing" etc. that the majority of users will have them enabled, and think no further about it).
