Even volunteers should expect to do their best, and to commit to what 
they can do in the available time; I don't volunteer to do package 
maintenance because, over time, I don't think I'd do it well.

I _would_ expect the Fedora project to have some procedures in place to 
minimise the likelihood of software that plain doesn't work getting 
released.

At one time I was doing some work on IBM's PL/1 compiler, and we had 
some thousands of tests that it had to pass before release beyond the 
development team.
