Sorry if this has been raised before - but would it help the community if Valve established a small (20-50) group of server owners for pretests of updates under "real-world" conditions? I'm not sure if it would be possible to do so, i.e., server-only updates without client updates, or issues from clients hopping from beta to real servers - but I don't know enough about the actual programming ramifications.
I know there are people on this list willing to give their time/energy to vetting out updates so that the larger masses are less impacted by them. Anyway, just a thought.
