I mean there are going to be bugs when Velious is released no matter what, regardless of how much beta testing is done and how thorough things are. There's no such thing as a bugless Velious launch, but I think the idea is to get the heavy and most obvious shit taken care of so it's not a complete mess.
And in that respect - in an alternate universe where we are offered a fresh blue P99 when Velious goes live - it wouldn't really be absolutely imperative to make sure Velious gets a live test-run on current blue 99 since they would just take down both servers in order to do patches.
This would of course create more downtime being as there would now be another server to look after and make sure is up and running, but man it would be worth it.
