We've seen why this won't work in the past... Too few users know how to |

do proper testing. We've had "please keyword, works for me" bugs for |

things that will always segfault on startup. We've had several people |
| 10 |
who think it'd be clever to automate testing reports. We've got enough |

ricers out there that clearly broken things would end up getting "works |
| 12 |
for me" spammed even more than they are already... |
