These are great points Jay. And we sure should reach out! And we do times and
again!

What I can't help but wonder about is if Bigtop discovers a stopper bug in a
component build system then how said component could possible can have an
official release with such a bug? I am not even talking about the integration
issues - this is something we designed to discover. But about the _official
release_'s bugs, where the build is outright broken????

In other words, does Bigtop has enough people-power to QA everything in the
Hadoop ecosystem?
