Hello!
Just a suggestion from me: It is ok if the beta programm is closed,
but why not publish a public beta or final candidate a week before the
release? Then RS could prevent unusable releases like r2.
While more testing (alpha, beta, or public) can help decrease the
number and severity of bugs, it can never get rid of them all -
software is a complex 'virtual' machine; only trivial programs could be
written that would have no bugs. And even then, you'd still have to
worry about bugs in the OS; the operating system is a complex software
system in its own right.
So technically, it can't "prevent", it can only "mitigate". Sorry for
the interruption, folks. I just get retentive, sometimes... :)
