It is more fun than waiting longer for the more limited uses of it to trigger problems. I cannot be convinced that using it in more places in order to find and fix more bugs is a bad thing. I'm sorry if a lot of bug fixes in a short period of time concerns you, but for me that's an even clearer sign that it needs help, and exposing it to more use cases is one of the best forms of help it can get. It also tells me that the people actually working on those fixes, such as Herbert Xu, are motivated and reliable when they are shown properly formed bug reports. I cannot think of a report Herbert and others did not resolve in a timely manner. They usually add test cases too. And that matters more to me than anything else. A subsystem can be buggy as shit, but if someone is responsible about fixing the reported bugs properly, then I have absolutely nothing to worry about.
