Previously, no one was actively hounding apps to make sure they were testing. Several people are now doing that. I think this will make a big difference.
I think some apps devs held off because they wanted to see no changes to the hivemind code before they started testing, because they didn't want to waste any time on their side. But that doesn't work very well right now, because we don't have tests for all the API calls that an app may use, so if they don't test, we don't know there's a problem. So at least for this hardfork, and probably the next one as well, this mindset needs to change.
Woof, that sounds a bit rough. But that makes a LOT of sense. Thanks for taking the time to break it down for me. Have a good one out there and keep up the hard work!
