Testing the reference builds is indeed extremely important, and should
be most of the testing.
The significance of the builds from source is that a PMC member can only
cast a binding +1 vote if they have done one, and we need at least three
binding +1 votes to release. They also need to have a general opinion
that the release should go out, and all the non-binding votes and
testing reports may influence that.

Hello,
for my understanding, beside doing a good build it is necessary to have
and totest defined reference builds.
The way I see it, it is not easy to do a good build if you didn't have
enough practice doing it.
I didn't myself any C/C++ build before. So IHMO I will waste time to
improve my build environment instead of testing a reference build
My results of testing belong to the reference builds published as RC1 at
dist.apache.org.
Apache OpenOffice is a project with a wide user base, who only use the
binaries. So it is important to release well defined and tested binaries.
Otherwise support becomes hell.
Kind regards
