It would be excessive to expect anyone to test every snapshot, but I
would hope that active distributors of OpenSSH test at least one
snapshot per month.
We don't operate a branched development model - CVS HEAD is supposed to
always be stable enough to release. This means that people on this list
should be able to stay up with -current (*) on non-production hosts (e.g.
workstations) and not expect breakage.
