I belive that's a reality. For example on AMD64 devs and AT's tested the
new 2005.1 livecd and stages for long time. On our team we found bugs on
packages (missing deps or patches) and we also test the packages with
the help of our AT's. At this moment i belive that x86 really misses the
arch team (hopefully it's in formation) to help test, improve QA and
also take care of security issues for example.
