Is there some way that we could ask CD vendors to provide a special
certification group with the CDs before they go into mass production?
That would let us be flexible, allow CD vendors the resources to get
some good testing on their stuff, and also give us a "stamp of
approval" mechanism so that we can affect quality for the better.
Could the debian-testing group be repurposed for this?
Ideas?
