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...
