machines. Personally, I'd consider that important enough to make it the default, although in that case maybe they should go though the 'testing' repo first and require some large-scale feedback first.
It would be interesting to see what you think are the tests these packages should go through first. I dont disagree, and I have a list of my own - but it would be great to get some more opinions on this subject.
It is just hard to duplicate the whole 'real-world' in tests so no matter what you do you may have surprises when things are deployed to a large number of users. To a certain extent this is a special case since it should be identical to the upstream binaries which already have hit a large user base, though - but there are still unpredictable things that can go wrong. My opinion is that it would be best to expose the initial release as 'test' quality and let a large number of people try it in a large number of environments - knowing that they should treat it as a test.
