Such a policy can do nothing to address bugs like this one that are unknown
at the time the upload is pushed to the repositories. We're not about to
make empty promises that no Ubuntu alpha can ever damage your hardware - the
best we can do is to ensure that if we become aware of such a problem, we
publicize this by the same channels we used to solicit testing to begin
with.
