    I think it would be useful for folks to test the 2.6.ODD release because
    the understanding is that 2.6.ODD+1 will be out soon, and we are pretty
    sure there won't be any large changes in that transition. Any out-side-the-tree
    patches will probably apply to both of these w/out manual hacking,
    which also makes testing easier.

    I am less likely to test an ODD.pre-Z release because there is likely to be
    a large pile coming after that, which means that even if pre-Z worked
    fine, I still have to be very paranoid about the final release.
