We should *all* be checking the release test results, especially the 
release manager. How did this happen? Here are some hard questions.

On what basis did we release the beta? (That is, do we have release 
criteria? Written down?)
Do those criteria have anything to do with the test results?
Is anybody in charge of the test infrastructure?
Does that person look at the test results?
What can we do to make sure this doesn't happen again?

Clearly, we need to delay 1.36 until we can get some fresh test results. 
And probably reopen the release branch for bug fixes.
