I've already run my favourite tests ;) The value of external testing is in the extra coverage which it gives - different hardware, different tests. And also different requirements: there may be things which I think are cool, but which you think suck. So... The real test is of course "daily use". If it works OK in daily use for you, and for everyone else then we ship 2.6. By definition. Of course, on top of daily use it is best to run additional stress tests to find problems more quickly. Large desktop applications, web and file servers, databases, etc would be interesting. CD burning, funny old PIO-mode IDE drives, stress testing with gigabt NICs, you name it.
