Sure you can't hope to test a full matrix, but that is just as much the
case for anaconda... yet the anaconda test matrix looks a lot more
complete than the upgrade one. Anyway, I don't want to make it sound
like the upgrade situation is mainly a QA problem - it is
first-and-foremost a maintainership problem; we must get out of the
situation that one of the two main avenues to the next release is wwoods
weekend project - of course, the other one being the unloved stepchild
of the installer team is not exactly perfect either...
