Sorry, that came out crankier than I really meant it. Thanks for taking it
lightly. :)

It's really hard to predict what people are might be using. And, y'know, you
don't want to accidentally fire up some client app on RH73 and unthinkingly
access the network with it and discover your account compromised.

And it's *also* really hard to get good testers for everything. It'd be nice
if people (um, including me) would be able to volunteer a little extra
effort to check out things that they're not absolutely needing themselves,
to help the project as a whole.

I keep meaning to do exactly what I'm talking about, but I'm *so* busy with
work schedule right now. (Mailing list posts take much less mental effort
than good package review, is my excuse here.... *grin*)
