To encourage userland testing of RC versions, I think it would be helpful to maintain Docker images of RCs. I’m not suggesting the internals group take this on themselves. IMO, this is something that the community can take on and offer, and it’s something that needs to be done before we can expect significant testing of RCs. Cheers, Ben
