I'll beg to differ, the only reason that the ALSA drivers where ultimately fixed, that PA became usable and that software started to use PA was that it was pushed out to all users as early as it was. Had it not been done this way then PA would be closer to where Wayland is today and PipeWire would have been decades away in the future.

The real QA for any software projects only comes on the day that you get it pushed to end users, it doesn't matter how much internal QA you have done.

There's always an infinite supply of bugs. If you ever run out of them, just test harder and you will get more. It's a continuum.

Once you ran out of sensible use cases, pass it on to a security team.
