Unfortunately, we do not have enough people doing QA for the model to
work. Each time I run fedora-easy-karma on branched, I have the feeling
to see always the same names ( ie, you and kevin ). I would be
interested to see some stats about this, because the difference between
a unused software and one who have no bug is thin.

And I am doubting that changing the release model will suddenly make
people do QA.
