Dead wrong. You can't get me (or any of the beta testers) to test or
improve code that's on your hard disk.
Huh? I can get you (and the other beta testers) to test stuff in the trunk
*because it’s in the trunk*. Branches are close in spirit to posting a patch
to the list without committing it, and you see clearly exactly how often
that provokes responses that indicate that someone has applied the relevant
patch; I would be surprised if it happened twice in the last three years.
If you don't want to run 4 sets of tests before committing,
don't; just
commit it to a branch. Nobody will complain about your lack of quality
control, or if they do, I'll LART 'em for you.
The tests would be necessary. Committing the changes to a branch would not
change that, no more than putting Xft and GTK on their own branches
magically made them good code.
