At the same time, since we've already said we want to look at how to
make test releases (and testing test releases) more streamlined, maybe
we can also include this as something to consider.  Because people
installing test releases don't necessarily expect to be getting onto the
rawhide train forever and installing and testing test releases is
definitely something we want to encourage.
