True, for the _current_ QA process.  But not for the original QA process.

The main problem I've had is that I've not had the required 4 days between
the updates-testing e-mail notice and the released to updates e-mail notice.
I don't know if this is because they are being released early, or because
the mailing list was slow...

Yes, but they often have only a few people testing them, with only one
vote per OS version...  Not much QA really...
