So, many pieces of this have been blabbed about by me and others recently and in the past, but I think a lot of people aren't seeing the big picture. I think it's time I fit it all together.
A lot of critiques end up quickly deteriorating into whiners, sad but true.
Problem: Fedora is buggy, and updates are rife with regressions.
Solution: We need more and wider testing.
Problem: We need more and wider testing. Why don't we get more testing?

My only issue why I do not test a lot more is the lack of requests. There is too much software to just "test'. If there was an RSS fees/email alert/etc system which alerted me every time someone wanted something tested. I would do a lot more testing. I have box dedicated to rawhide which I will glad screw over in the name of testing. But it is not my primary machines, I am not using it every day.
