I wasn't suggesting that having lots of machines for one developer would replace the usual user testing, merely supplement it and mean that perhaps things could be marked stable a bit faster. It's just as if an extra big group of users decided to start using ~arch for a lot of packages, having more machines (obviously with different setups, there'd be no point in having 200 identical machines) would theorectically mean problems would be found and hopefully resolved. > Did you try?
