It is related. It can be seen from traffic on the factory mailing list,
the Hungarian S.u.S.E. mailing list and also my experience with an
upstream project, syslog-ng, where I'm community manager. The first
widespread testing comes with beta and even more with RC.

This would help. A new priority every week, with affected developers
listening on bugzilla and probably also on IRC would be very helpful. I
see, that it works fine for Fedora.

Well, it can be used, but only with a few years of Linux experience, not
for new users. Also not practical where downtime costs $$$.

For that you need to do some recruitment work on non devel mailing lists
and forums. But for beginner users I'd still not recommend it. Just
think of packman and binary nVidia / ATI drivers.
