Better to catch those problems during the actual release beta cycle, isn't it?
That is never going to happen.
It sure seems like in general it /has/ happened. We haven't really had any serious issues with not being able to install on most hardware. ISTR one release that had that happen (11.3, maybe?).
I mean bugs with packages, most are found later.
The real testing phase is the first month after the release, and that is a fact. A release becomes usable after two months of release, when the devs have cured the problems discovered in the first month.
And those updates are tested a lot, too.
They're not tested on install media, which is kinda my point.
I know, but I prefer to guess that issues would be few and worth a try. Maybe one sub-release at midterm. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
