It's not possible for a single document to be both a press release
(which that was) and a technical list of things to test. That needs to
be two different documents ... and the technical one needs to somehow
evolve, so that we can add things to it as we discover potential problem
areas.

This does show how we're not really doing anything to publicize betas as
"please test this" though. For that matter, our /beta page doesn't
really inspire someone to jump up and test things.
