OK. I can agree with that too. It does take some time to learn to take care 
of oneself though. The point was that contributors start out as users; 
some will gradually become developers.

And remember that developers also do often *ask* regular users to "try the
current mainline", even during the merge window. Maybe that is something 
that is done too lightly?

Cheers,
