+Well, testing the ISOs, does help us figure out what's wrong with them. 
+We need those ISOs working to be able to release them. If we start 
+releasing ISOs, that are broken, we will fastly use any credibility.
+So the pre release tests of the ISOs are important.
+Of course running and testing the current cauldron is important as well, 
+but you do test cauldron by installing the ISOs as well.
