Yes, I know, it is a _hypothetical_question_. You do not really expect an answer. However it was my thought exactly. Nobody? I like to think that those that were responsible for patches, have tested their modifications. I did. On the other hand, those that will find problems, the people building packages, will only do that on "official" releases. I am almost sure of that :-) Unless you like creating test releases, releasing only one before you push an "official" one, would be more efficient, I imagine. Yes, you would run the chance that you would have to mend an official release several times ... but is that bad? Just a thought.
