One of us is missing something.  We are talking about unreleased changes
on the emacs-NN branch.  So, after the release of NN.2, say, the changes
on emacs-NN that will go into NN.3 but are not yet released.  In that
situation, these changes will not get much testing because after the
release of NN.1 or at least after NN.2, most people will be either
running master or the released version.

I think you might be unusual in this regard.  I think most people switch
to master once NN.1 is out, at least on the machine they do Emacs
development on.
