Thought I would post here as well.
I am totally against copies to test, if by that we mean the toon would be on live and test. I Think the reasons above pretty well sum it up for me. A one time, one way transfer makes much more sense and seems to me a good way to get people actually interested in testing.
As far as handing out stuff, I am not opposed to it, but think it needs to be done with care. Too many handouts leads, to things not getting tested, imho.
One thing is certain, we could use some more folks.
