Now whether or not fc5t1 counts as a "release" is debatable on many

No, it's very much not. alpha/beta/test have never been guaranteed (or
at all expected) to update perfectly from one to the next, and never
will.
Absolutely, no way. We've got enough work to do without being this
incredibly crazy.
Maybe I'll be laughed off the list, but I do think it would be great if
a *goal* (not a requirement) of at least test3 of a given release would
be to upgrade to final. Might help get a bit more testing on more
diverse hardware if there wasn't the expectation that we will likely
have to re-install a few weeks later.
Similarly, it would be nice if there were some notes between test
releases (and final) pointing out any changes that might not have been
handled by rpm -Fvh. Especially important new packages, configs that
might not be upgraded etc. A few times in the past (mainly with RHL
more than FC) I've installed a test3, and although the upgrade to final
seems OK, I start panicking that there's something important I've
missed. Yes, I'm slightly neurotic. :-)
