I think you're misunderstanding the reason for this bug report.

The purpose isn't to make life easier for tester - it's to make life easier for
our users.

Anybody tester can use the last unstable version, there's no feat there.
Providing useful information for our users means we also provide test data for
the version they're using, which for 99% of them will be one of the stable
versions, since distributions only offer stable releases in their repositories.

For the sake of our users, we're happy to downgrade temporarily and test
applications in an older, but stable version. Moreover, since unstable release
sometimes break support, it is a service to our users that we can check and
tell them that the stable version runs their application fine.

Now if for any philosophical reason we take the stance of disregarding our
userbase, why do we provide stable releases at all?
