No, I think we catch 70-85%. 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....;-) ).
