Well, some people perceive it to be problem (and I can't
really blame them). What we _really_ need is some regression
testing infrastructure. We have started taking some baby steps
in that direction with the inclusion of PyUnit, but it will
take some time and resources to get a meaningful amount of
tests. Hopefully the recent Good Things happening here at DC
will mean that the necessary resources will become available
to make that happen.
In the meantime, since Brian is a poor regression test rig, I
plan to have a (generally very short - like a week) beta period
for third-dot releases. One beta should usually do it, and it
will allow at least for more coverage than I can easily contrive
from my desktop as a sanity check. When the test infrastructure
is more mature we could revisit this though.
