how would the prelink problem occur in the first place. Did the developer not experience the problem or ( more likely ) not even test it. Perhaps more stability could be achieved by making developers who break things do QA penance for a month.

Probably because actual prelinking is deferred in a cron job, so you could update glibc and have the system go south hours after when the cron job executed

That doesn't stop the developer from running is manually. I believe the reason "People don't test development distributions" is because the developers don't either.
