Hi,

has absolutely helped identify issues before the panic of final beta.
Regards, Martin.
This is exactly why I can't see the point in loads of milestones.
Unless what you're saying is
'please just test milestones'
A milestone is JUST a stop on yesterday. If there's a bug with a
milestone - there was a bug yesterday.
What people should be doing more of is weaning 'testers' off of a 4 or 5
shot testing schedule and asking them to test more often. - daily.
The only thing I think that anyone gains is people mailing various lists
saying 'we're testing for 2 days this week'
Xubuntu has found - consistently - more bugs outside of any random
milestone than within it.
In fact at the beginning of the yak cycle - we found the 1587555 bug
purely because we check iso's pretty much daily.
Sorry - but I do not see the point in a whole load of work for people,
just to stop for a day or two, when what should be going on is testing
during the whole of a cycle.
That's my pennyworth of pounds ;)
