7 Do we know how many people actually use the software on the live media?
8 Do they care if it's not 100% functional?

10 <personal experience> When I install Gentoo, I'll use which ever live
11 CD/DVD/USB I can find, if not, I'll download the minimal install CD and
12 the only pieces of software I'll use is dhcpcd and a web browser to read
13 the handbook. I'll occasionally use screen and ssh{,d} if the box is too
14 far from my desk.

16 So once you release a beta, that's what I'll be trying out first and
17 foremost.

19 But, wouldn't it be interesting to find out the usage patterns for our
20 users before making a big list of things to check?
21
22 Maybe not enough users do care to make it block QA and releng's time
23 when making new releases.
