That's good and reminds me that I forgot to mention that for the macOS 
installer, besides the already mentioned tests, we also download, install, and 
smoke test a third-party wheel from PyPI using the bundled pip and we also do a 
visual inspection of the release's changelog by launching through IDLE the 
docset bundled with each installer. If the Python binaries included with the 
installer are built for multiple CPU architectures (macOS universal binaries), 
we would also attempt to ensure that the test suite is run at least once on 
each architecture (as of several months ago, we no longer regularly distribute 
such binaries but there's a good chance we may need to do so again in the 
not-too-distant future, for example, if Apple introduces macOS machines based 
on ARM CPUs).
