There are internally, although I don't know if they were made
publically available or not. I believe there would be high value
in making them publically available though for some external
final testing, but I'm not sure what the official plan is.
mkj: Any chance we can push the latest test ISOs out for people
to do final/semi-final testing?

(This feels odd replying on bottom to a mail that was replied on
top. Probably looks very confusing to people reading it too.
Ah well, I refuse to reply on top, which is broken, so I'm sure
people will deal with it, or start a "Why reply on top is
considered harmful" flamewar or something. <grin>)
