Oh, no no. That's not the point. I'm thrilled to have you work on
QAing Diablo. The only issue is that the fixes you come up with should
be pushed to Essex first. There are two reasons for this:

 * If we don't push the fixes to Essex, the problems will still be
present in Essex and every release after that.

 * Having them in Essex lets us try them out, vet them and validate
them more thoroughly before we let them into the stable branch. When a
patch lands in the stable branch it has to be well tested already
(unless of course Essex has deviated too much, in which case we'll
have to accept the risk of getting it into Diablo directly).

This is true :(

Yes, I would very much like to avoid this as well.
