Most people don't beta test further most people don't test (you know this).

My customers aren't going to be an issue obviously. What I am worried 
about is the backlash from those who like to do this:

Ohhhh 8.3 is out.

WTH just happen!

And there are far more of those than I wish to admit (consider the 
existence of gentoo ;)).

Sincerely,
