Disclaimer:  I'm just a lowly user.

If testing is just a release tool that isn't supposed to be used until
a freeze, why is it being offered up for use?  Wouldn't it be better
all around (disk space on mirrors, support questions about testing,
rooted boxes, threads like this, and such) to have the testing scripts
work on a private pool on some debian machine somewhere and not
mirrored out to the world?

Another question: does Debian provide to developers access to
machines on all 11 arches for building packages?
