Extremely good point. |

As an unreformed ~arch user with the scars to prove it, I know I'm a |
| 18 |
tester for a lot of this stuff and relish the opportunity. =:^) But |
| 19 |
there's been times I've shuddered at the thought of something I've dealt |
| 20 |
with hitting stable and I'm sure I'm not an exception in that regard, so |
| 21 |
anything that would lose us that valuable testing buffer had better have |
| 22 |
a VERY good reason. |
