After last release some people requested if it would be possible to provide
a tarball 3 days before the actual release. They would then test that
tarball. If no issues, we do the real tagging and release 3 days later. The
idea would be we can reach more people than with subversion branch32. It is
unclear to me to who we would announce such a tarball
Don used to work like that for the 2.2.x releases, asking people on IRC to
install it. However, it means extra work for you, so my reply then was that
we will see with next release what your ideas about this are. Main point
would be how to announce the existence of such a tarball, my guess would be
people on devel list use subversion anyway...
