I can't speak for Opera, but in the case of Mozilla this seems like a good approach. We really need more testing of preview releases to get feedback on bugs that are really holding people back and to catch regressions. In general we prefer bugs to be filed in bugzilla, but each bug filed takes up developer time (a very scarce resource) whether it's a real bug or not. Asking fellow contributors to this list whether something is a bug or not therefore seems like a good idea. The less of our time is spent reading, closing and explaining invalid bug reports, the more time we can spend on fixing real bugs. That said, we definately do need people downloading, testing and giving us feedback before official releases are made.
