The testing has to be done before we make anything available as an
official release. As of now, the status of this project is at the
beginning of incorporating a 7.2.1 based patch into CVS HEAD.

Asking for exzessive tests at this stage of development and (ab)using
the absence of 100% proof of rock solid reliability as an excuse to
reject the entire aproach would be ridiculous.
