What kind of bugs are you expecting to find: 1) Regressions from the last RC -> escalate 2) Bugs already present in the RC and reported 3) Bugs already present in the RC and not reported
>From experience of our users and their usage with bugzilla. 90 % is category 2 (that obviously includes experienced users). Given that we release with known bugs (bug free software is impossible) it hardly matters whether there are a few more or less and it wouldn't change anything because we are post final tagging (except it's a showstopper -> escalate). That said: I keep to what I wrote. For me as a heavy bugzilla user (just look at commit-digest) getting bug reports for an unreleased version would cause more work and confusion. My first comment would be "this version is not yet released, where do you have it from? Are you sure you are running exactly that version?" - if I don't know the user and that he is an experienced Chakra user having access to pre-released packages, I have to assume he entered junk which happens more often than you would expect. For everything else of your mail: sorry, I'm not qualified to answer/comment on that :-) -- Martin Gräßlin
