Sure, and when we can we can... but I don't think it should be
prioritzed over work that actually has wider benifits.

This seems odd to me. I mean, it can't be hard to setup a test repo, is
it? I suspect we could even ask QE folks to do some testing and map out
the issues they find. I don't think it's nice/ethical to break users
just as a means to make bugs we want to have fixed higher priority. 

Anyhow, we are pretty off topic for this thread, so I'll try and stop...
