Ok but for some packages some testers have responded saying "It

for me " some people have told it does not work me " . If you look at
these 2 statements, its contradicting, thats point one and the next
one is "It" is still undefined for other testers :). My suggestion is
why cannot we define "It" as a test case or an enhancement atleast. I
sincerely feel that it would make a big difference.
Probably we could review our updates system and try adding a field
which gives more info.I also strongly feel that it would help our
contributors in a real positive way.
Imho everytime some package receives bad karma, it needs to be explained what
did not work, otherwise nobody can fix it. For good karma, imho the testcases
could be better collected somewhere else than in each update, because they
will not differ much for each release, e.g. for a yum update one would always
check whether update/install/remove works.
