Well our rule is "we do not release crap to the public." If we open the 
downloads of our Re-Spins with out testing perhaps one might suggest 
"Why test them at all?" As it is we have about 40 people signed up as 
testers, of those only 4 or 5 have ever given us any feedback.

If we drop testing all together and a Re-Spin is released with some 
glaring bugs it would be a black eye on Unity's Re-Spin project and also 
on Fedora in general IMO. It is bad enough when bugs slip through 
unreported in the official releases.

So I guess it comes down to "We will release no Re-Spin before it's 
time!" As long as my reputation and the reputation of the Unity Project 
is on the line, we will continue to test and limit access to the 
untested images to those who ask for it, making an implied promise to us 
to help test.
