for example git-bisect was godsent. I remember that years ago bisection

last-ditch approach for really nasty bugs. Today we can autonomouly 
bisect build bugs via a simple shell command around "git-bisect run", 
without any human interaction! This freed up testing resources

It's only a godsend for the few people who happen to be kernel developers
and who happen to already use git.

It's a 540MByte download over a slow link for everyone else.

Oh, common. Leeching CDs is so yesterday. These days some distributions
don't even offer CDs anymore in favour of DVDs.

I'd be amazed if a lot of the testers would still be on slownet, its
impossible to keep up with the latest distros without broadband.
