But that is literally what the 25.10 is for, to test in prod. So that those bugs are fixed in the upcoming LTS

    They really should not be testing it at all. It's not even feature complete, let alone mature.

    I take it you've never done any serious software development.

    No matter how much they try, the in-house testing environment will never be as diverse as the "wild". Running the software in production, where it will encounter a vastly greater range of system configurations, and users who will report issues, is often the only way to catch the more elusive bugs. Like xz. And let me point it out because people seem to have completely missed it: they caught the bug and fixed it.
