"...both architectures) will also be available via anonymous FTP as soon as
it's been compiled in its final form."

I had assumed this meant that some machine somewhere was busily cranking on
making the ISO from a release hierarchy (and that as soon as this process was
done, they'd be copied to the FTP site). If there was a secondary announcement
about further testing before releasing the ISOs and I missed it, I apologize
for my assumption and statement.

I can perfectly understand this. However, if there is an ISO image of "what
should be 4.0-RELEASE" somewhere, would it be a benefit to post that pointer
to the qa list (less traffic than -current and less "visible" than -announce)
in hopes that people would download it and give it one more series of
run-thrus before the 20,000 CDs were burned?
