It's a nice idea (I know I recently opened "negotiations" up with the mips |
| 8 |
team for access so I could close some of my open bugs against them), but the |
| 9 |
two problems I can see with this are: remote access tends to mean you can't |
| 10 |
test any X related properly (shoot, I have a sparc sitting next to me |
| 11 |
headless, but being headless I never broach the gui related sparc stuff), and |
| 12 |
ultimately, that kind of open ended freedom will still result in people |
| 13 |
marking things ~arch and arch that they shouldn't be - maybe they rushed and |
| 14 |
just made sure it installed, not really worked, or they figure they can |
| 15 |
always go back later if they see any bugs. |

Man, when did I become the dour note? |
