There's still the "We've been testing a new KDE release for 2-3 weeks, now
we need to edit in a one-line regression fix to one package of the huge
group before pushing this to stable." scenario. This has been the case quite
often. With your "fix", we'd have the choice between pushing the update
with
a known regression (yuck!!!) or waiting another full week (also quite a bad
option).
If you have been *testing* it for 2-3 weeks surely you have no problem
to find two
testers to confirm the small fix?
I know you never run kde from updates-testing yourself, so I understand why you
think nobody would want to test it. But the reality is that even if
you don't want to
test your work yourself, there are people who can verify the fix so
that the update
can go out sooner if need be.
