I have been told that I am uninformed---such things can happen with a
project as big as Debian.
If this can be done, the fact that Debian probably has a more
comprehensive collection of free software than any other distribution
or OS (that I know of, which means there may be others I don't know
of, so go easy on me) might well make Debian a better, or at least
more comprehensive test bed. This could in itself be considered good
or bad. :-)
If people want to consider this, I can point them to the people doing
the work on automating the builds.
Mike.
