It does not really address my point: I agree with Jason that we probably have enough people pretesting Windows binaries _built_ _elsewhere_. The idea was to have people testing Windows binaries built by the same process and on the same computer that will get used for the final release. It would be embarrassing, for example, if we figured out after the final release of the binaries that _this_ machine had no or insecure image libraries. Using the same process _including_ the same machine and installation for pretest and release makes sure that such things have a chance to become apparent during the pretest. -- David Kastrup
