OK.. so that's a legitimate gripe.

OpenSSL has opportunities for improvements in their testing and
release process. There is ***absolutely no reason**** a patch should
not be tested before being released. Its been a chronic problem with
the project.

For what its worth, I've given up on the Testing Group
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openssl-testing). No
meaningful change came from it. The devs are still undisciplined in
this area, and they still do what they want.
