Hmm. I always thought that testing was a tool for release
management, and a replacement of the freeze mechanism. If so, it is
really only ready for extensive use and testing close to a stable
release -- when the RM calls uponm and lets lose the hrdes on testing
to sniff out undiscovered bugs. Untl then, it is a no mans land where
the ravening winds howl and moan.
