It seems to me that the appropriate distinction is not between stable releases and releases in testing, but rather between testing-related messages and non-testing-related messages. If, for example, someone encounters a bug in F16 and wants to know whether it might be known to others before fi

1. It was entirely unnecessary for you to quote an entire list digest in a message that had nothing to do with anything in the digest. 2. You're going to need to be a lot more specific than "has never worked" if you expect anyone to be able to help you. As you pointed out, no one else has repo
