Tim is spot on.  The only reason someone using a test/beta/rc release to
post to this list is for generic/basic linux problems that pretty much
can go to any linux distro.  Any other problems, need to go to the
test/devel lists where the maintainers/QA listen to (as well as or more
to bugzilla).

"no matter the release" is for *release*, as in an "officially released
product*, not just *any* release, no matter what.
