I wouldn't put it this way, but instead ask how to enable the RM to do this kind
of work more publicly.  I really would like it more if we can extend our buildd
infrastructure to automatically test during the time where the trunk and the
release candidates don't match. I am aware that this was never done for any
release in the past, but maybe this is something that can be enabled for 3.5.
But before documenting a process which may change depending on the RM why not
try to align the process?
