Well, it perhaps was a simple strategy. If you were capable of get the password, you were the sufficiently smart to be able to test these development packages and send bugs about it. If not better that you were out of this pre-release. It was a game


About the bugzilla, I think Andre and Karsten would be charmed to receive feedback about it. Really, it's necessary more feedback from the community in the right places in some topics.
I figured out their password and user-agent scheme, but it wasn't needed anyway. Most of packages are downstream from Debian anyway and a lot of them include security fixes. For a company who makes the best firewalls in the world (yes, I'm a security engineer/consultant, I know IPSO and the IP platform intimately like PN0029), you'd think they would have a uniform sense of keeping things patched and patched ASAP.

That last part, I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not.
