Upstream issues are a whole different kettle of fish, but obviously |
| 6 |
still cause problems. Online game clients tend not to become stable |
| 7 |
now simply because they can suddenly stop working when the server |
| 8 |
software is upgraded, requiring a rapid upgrade to the client. |

Maybe we need to rethink the definition of "stable" in these |
| 11 |
situations. I think it still doesn't hurt to have some kind of QA |
| 12 |
cycle internally for something like firefox. Plus at least with |
| 13 |
firefox the old versions don't suddenly stop working/etc, assuming |
| 14 |
they still get upstream security notices. |
