+1 to the idea of doing an out of band release.

I am also wondering how we can prevent significant regressions from being
part of a release in the future. One proposal I have right away is to
ensure that functional (glusto?) and performance (gbench?) regression tests
are completed prior to a release. Both glusto and gbench might need some
attention from us to be able to use those frameworks effectively for
release testing.

Are there better thoughts or proposals for preventing issues of this nature?

Thanks,
Vijay
