So far I've only seen S Christian Collins respond, with actual things 
that he can commit to testing (thanks!).

So, for the rest of you.

The thing is, up till now, we haven't had much of release candidates, 
but instead people test the final release, and complain when things stop 
working, and I end up having to make another release - until the next 
tester happens to find a bug, and have to make another release, and so 
on. That is frustrating, I want to change that.

If people want their specific features still working, is it too much to 
ask for, that those people at least test them *before* release time?
