I've been telling most users I know to *please* test a *LiveCD/USB* from major snapshots and specially just before Beta, so that any major HW or SW anomaly can still be known and possibility fixed before release.
Today we have the tools to make this very easy (burning a LiveCD, usb-creator, etc), but many users are still afraid or too busy to try.

Plus several key ppl on Ubuntu Community tend to disagree with this view. They believe _regular_ users should not do this, or are able to do it.
I'll agree with Martin that its not more testers that we need, but I believe we all agree that is better to know it before release then after.


So it seems we need two things:
* more man power;
* broader testing.

What can we do to fix this two points?
