+
+Of course QA will test more than "the program started, it's OK". If you look 
+at the history of updates in bugzilla you'll see that testing is usually more 
+thorough than that.
+
+And if the packager asks for testing of new features to ensure they introduce 
+no obvious blocking bug, they can be tested, provided they are in a limited 
+number. If that's the price for dozens of bugfixes, it can be worth it, unless 
+the new features are disruptive for users accustomed to the version of 
+kdenlive in core/release, or bring incompatibilities or new critical bugs.
