I also fully agree with Jirka's opinion. Not that easy to get long-term
contributors.

Personally I think we need to figure out a way to make NetCAT a more
fluid, open and ongoing thing, or drop it.
Now we've moved to voted betas, rather than just advertising them,
maybe we can encourage anyone testing them to pick a NetCAT test of
interest to try, and report issues?
In my opinion loyal long-term contributors are rare and most people
in open source world prefer to help within a limited period of time
between two projects/jobs/marriages and then go their own way again.
From that point of view it makes more sense to concentrate the testing
effort around LTS version with known NetCAT start/end dates, form a
dedicated team of volunteers with free capacity, certify the whole
product and release it. Thanks to that we can advertise LTS as
something extra given the focused NetCAT community testing.
If we would ask the same contributors to test the same stuff every
3 months and make it an ongoing process, I think the outcome would be
lower.
I admit I may be mistaken though so I would love to hear opinions
from other NetCAT subscribers in this mailing list. Let's make this
discussion objective so everyone please share your thoughts! :)
