Namesys internal bad patches frequently pass original testing of patch author and are caught by professional tester whose specialty is testing reiserfs patches. You just haven't seen these bad patches, so you don't realize how effective the catching is.;-) There have been a lot of catches.;-) It is not simply a matter of skill in testing though: you need a second person to test it in the way that the author did not think to test it (e.g. by booting to the right kernel, everyone on this list has made that benchmarking/testing error a few times, yes....;-) ).
