I test on my own machine against the release branch.  In other words,
I'm testing against the NEXT release.  This means that I update
my release tree once in a while.  This might address the
concerns that some have that we're really testing the integrated
whole.  If everyone did this, the release would be always
(almost) ready to deploy.
