I appreciate you sharing your experience with Karmasphere.  To play the
Devil's advocate:  I still haven't heard anything about any significant
long-term use.  10 minutes of testing is great, but what about the Bell
Curve over a longer period of time.

I already capitulated to the fact that nothing gets changed for
pre-existing tester - but new testers potentially get more than they
bargained for if Karmasphere (or anything else) gets haphazardly added
to the code.  Thus my argument to the fact that it is added as a
*default* setting.

Perhaps its a much stronger issue for me running on the Windows side of
things (since you don't), but I have been screwed over a few times
because of the development and (lack of) testing cycle.

This should only be taken as *constructive* criticism.  But the 1.3.3.x
"stable" releases should make the point I am trying to make evident.

Thanks for listening.
