We are not talking about a formal test process. But if we do have the
information (about an update breaking a popular proprietary package), I
don't see why we should intentionally withhold it.
Also, if we have a group of volunteers willing to test popular
proprietary packages (PPPs), I also don't see how it hurts anyone. I do
use VMWare extensively for all my OSS development and packaging,
certainly I'm willing to test new kernel update candidates...
