This whole thread was about stable tars, not RC or Beta. What was found and reported often, is regressions from say, 4.x.2 to 4.x.3.<div>Reported not in bug reports, but more a discussion on IRC, see if anyone was aware, sometimes ml, again, just checking if it was a known/accepted regression. <br>

What kind of bugs are you expecting to find:<br>
1) Regressions from the last RC -> escalate<br>
2) Bugs already present in the RC and reported<br>
3) Bugs already present in the RC and not reported<br>

(that obviously includes experienced users). Given that we release with known<br>
bugs (bug free software is impossible) it hardly matters whether there are a<br>
few more or less and it wouldn't change anything because we are post final<br>
tagging (except it's a showstopper -> escalate).<br>
<br>
That said: I keep to what I wrote. For me as a heavy bugzilla user (just look<br>
at commit-digest) getting bug reports for an unreleased version would cause<br>
more work and confusion. My first comment would be "this version is not yet<br>
released, where do you have it from? Are you sure you are running exactly that<br>
version?" - if I don't know the user and that he is an experienced Chakra user<br>
having access to pre-released packages, I have to assume he entered junk which<br>
happens more often than you would expect.<br>
<br>
For everything else of your mail: sorry, I'm not qualified to answer/comment<br>
on that :-)<br>
