Well said, Roland! My sentiments as well. The dev team is putting a lot of
reliance on the users to do a lot of testing, and we will probably keep finding
bugs, which the team will jump on. They deserve a lot of respect. A local Santa

There's no reason as far as I can see that a Linux native user can't VNC to
a remote Mac for the portion of testing that requires a Mac. The same is
