Quite simply put, test CVS prior to release. It's not when a developer
has no issues, it's when the people who use CVS and report back to us
have no issues. If you're responsible for a binary package/distro and
you don't want to back port fixes into your release then it's in your
best interest to be on the dev list and to test CVS, before a release
(at a minimum).
