Is this such a good idea?  Why make tarballs for testing?  Couldn't we just 
freeze the cvs for a couple of days (from Monday March 19), and then when we 
feel it's tested enough we send it off to the packagers... ?

For every release now, the packages have had to be rebuilt, this is 
unnecessary and frustrating work.  Let's try to avoid it this time...
