So I'm kicking around this idea to help w/ QA testing. What if Fedora Legacy provided very base images of the releases we support for use with vmplayer? Vmplayer is free, and from the base image a QA tester could update to the package we need QA on, use the package in various ways, and report how it worked out. No need to have a full system of that release, no bad effects to your running system, just a nice test environment to run a few smoke tests on it.
This could reduce the amount of folks saying "but I don't even have [distro] in question!" but I fear it would morph into "so, why exactly should I bother installing a vmplay of [distro]?"
For the already hardcore-QA'ers (very few in number), this could help, but I think the root problem is that there isn't enough help even for the FL distro versions that the people are actually running.
So, instead of adding more hoops ("please, install a virtual image of all the other distros and do verify testing etc. there"), most focus should be put on making participation easier.
