How exactly do you expect the software to get from a .0 to a .1 release,
or to have addressed the bugs that might bite you when it does get to .1,
if you aren't helping to test it?

Now I realize that you did say "test" above, but way too often I see
this sort of argument as a justification for doing nothing and expecting
somebody else to fix it.
