Say what?
How can you know that?

The request for a "test report" tag in the bug tracker has not yet
(as of a couple of hours ago) been acted on.

So unless you have some other means of tracking user submitted test 
reports how can you say that something is "not widely tested"?  you have
no way for people to report good/bad/pass/fail/broke.

Which means the maintainer(s) have no way to know what to mark as "tested",
"untested" or "broken" in a tagged release.

Or is it the Buildroot policy to throw all of the testing work onto the
back of the maintainer(s)?  Why should they be loaded up with that work?
