~ARCH is testing, don't run it if you aren't willing to test code and file |
| 7 |
bugs. The handbook is clear on this point. |

Its not completely untested code, though. The developer that marks it as |
| 10 |
~ARCH should have compiled and run the program to his or her satisfaction |
| 11 |
on |
| 12 |
that ARCH. At that point, the developer can (rightly) feel free to release |
| 13 |
the package to those users that have **VOLUNTARILY chosen to test new |
| 14 |
packages* by running ~ARCH. |
| 15 |
|

I'm not saying don't run ~ARCH at all; but if you do, you have chosen to |
| 17 |
test |
| 18 |
the software and should file bugs, even if that takes some time. |
