Valve are one of the few companies that DO try, I'm sitting here with another Vivendi marketted title, and getting nothing helpful back in the way of customer support.
Yet week after week, I see Valve fixing anything that had gone unnoticed AND adding new features and games. Now look at the bugs in the other programs people have running, many of the bugs in Windows have been in there since the beginning, and that's an OS! (and probably the reason you're running Debian, Mikee), at least Valve are bothered and are trying. Most companies would just blame the end user, even when knowing full well it's their side and that thousands are having the same problems.
Perhaps more communication from Valve as to what they are working on, and perhaps (re: willy nilly patching) some way that server ops can opt in to test patches for Valve would be a good idea? Maybe a variable that is set, or a character prefixing usernames so that Valve and identify a server that has 'opted' in to test updates?
Yes very annoying to find out all your servers have crashed, it shouldn't have happened, and yes Valve were to blame, but they do try, and am sure the majority of us appreciate this.
Just thought I'd add My few words in support of Alfred and all those at Valve.

That's your loss. They are doing a rather good job in my eyes by releasing patches fairly quickly for the more serious of bugs.
I certainly would not consider having logaddress_add in autoexec.cfg part of "simple basic testing".
I'm sorry you have so much trouble with it, but if you do not like it, then please just find a new game.
