To me this implies that we should begin testing earlier (or, perhaps,
never stop testing) and treat any new failure as an event of
significance. It's tough to meet a six month cycle if we spend half of
it telling people to expect everything to be broken.
We don't really have the personpower for this at present. Doing
validation testing of four or five composes per release is already a
large amount of effort; we really don't have the people currently to run
the validation test suite every day. When more of it is automated we may
be able to do something like this.
