Statistically you will run into less problems than you would in -devel, but that's about it.
Maybe we should change that and make it a requirement that apps be optified before being moved from devel to testing.

I can also foresee that things could go wrong when apps are being optified for final release so it makes the most sense to have that all finished when they enter testing. Then you know you are testing what the goal is to release eventually.

I´m willing to test a lot of stuff, but as relatively new to this world I really do not want the root directory to fill up, so unless it is "optified" I´m not sure I want to venture in there. Basically I´m willing to test if the consequences of failure are likely to be fixable in less than 3 hours.

If this would end up taking me a day or two to fix, I´d rather stay away. I need the device to function so the view is not worth the climb so to speak if its likely to be down for days.
