You published 23.1.93 without a binary, giving this as excuse: > The latest pretest has a couple of serious bugs on Windows, > so IMO there is little point making the binary for it.

You said this on 3/12, but nothing came of it: > Lennart is having technical problems with the box he compiles > on. If he fixes those, I will upload his binaries to alpha.gnu.org. How many Windows users tested that 94 pretest, which supposedly fixed serious Windows bugs introduced by pretest 93? Gettin any pretest feedback at all from Windows users, besides build reports? There was no 23.1.92 binary either. The last published Windows binary was for 23.1.91, 2010/01/03. You have lamented the fact that no one has volunteered to build Windows binaries, but the same day (3/12), Sean Sieger volunteered: > I've been building and using the previous pretest as well as > bzr builds daily for two weeks and everything seems to be > going well.

Whatever became of that? Wasn't it "okay with you" that Sean build and post binaries?
