Everyone have access to the "prereleases".
The prereleases are available in two forms:
    * Nightly snapshot mode
    * anonymous CVS mode

Anyone can watch the devel list and see when Gerald posts
   "I plan to do a new release on ABCday next week.  Is that ok with
everyone or does anyone
    want me to hold the release for a few days more?"

Then anyone interested can download the "prereleases" from either the
nightly snapshot directory
or from anon-cvs and compile and test.


If no one responds to Geralds mail during that week with : "Please hold the
release x y z does not work"
then one can only speculate about the reasons for not doing so.
