We all like to be test-driving the future or else we wouldn't be using fedora. But the issue is more on the planning of the future. In the planning phase the issues that will be faced should be taken into account such as not to leave aside some category of use cases/users and the overall design should take that into account. Aftere that, sure testing will be needed to make sure everything is right. But things that have been ruled out by design won't appear later magically. > And I also think that is the reason RedHat desired to hire Lennart and > Bastien especially: these guys are really world leaders in some key desktop > technologies.
