Ah, now we get down to the nitty gritty of the desire to hasten
the process of going from a Test state to a Release state. Hopefully,
those who in past have seen no need to maintain a policy of "no package
can move from Test state to Release state unless it has actually gone
through test to prove proper operation" and want to change to one of
"if enough time has lapsed, then even if no verification of proper
operation has taken place, we need to move from Test state to Release
state" can see a little bit of the other side of the fence, now.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
