I understand your concern, in fact both these things including an upcoming 
cloudmonkey voting process, quality discussion initiatives, automation/testing 
efforts are all happening around the holiday season - but this simply shows 
that we’ve a great and diverse community, and it’s good to see so many 
initiatives.

I think it’s certainly do-able and here’s how we grow our testing community;

- include users@, users-cn@ getting more people to help testing release(s)
- built and share a deb/rpm repository so testing upgrades and installs along 
with ACS is easier for everyone (everyone is welcome to build from source but I 
think Jenkins is still a better tool for building/packaging)
- 4.3.2 mainly requires regression testing efforts since it’s a bugfix release 
and requires less bandwidth
- 4.5.0 will require a lot of functional testing, (new) component testing and 
regression testing as it is a major release with new features, a lot of changes 
and a new systemvmtemplate

I’ll also build and share deb/rpm repository for 4.5.0 as soon as the RC is out 
and as part of our release process we can do that so it’s easier for users and 
people in general to participate without building from source (I’m not 
suggesting to discourage building from source in any way).
