I did not write that testing is a waste of time. But begging to get
updates tested is. Also it is imho for each maintainer to maintain lots
of test machines (e.g. there are four Fedora "releases": F12, F13, F14
and Rawhide and two primary archs, making it 8 machines) even if they do
not have the time to perform regular testing, but spend their FOSS time
more on development or packaging. For dedicated testers it is different,
e.g. if they regularly use their testing machines, it makes more sense
to maintain them.
Yeah, there's no way I can have more than 2 installations of Fedora running,
both on production machines, and often on the same Fedora release. I just
don't have the time to maintain test environments, I'd rather maintain
actual code and/or packages!
