This tip should be fleshed out and included somewhere in the release
management wiki page at

http://wiki.sagemath.org/release

I feel ashamed to admit that I'm not able to do this fleshing out work
as I hardly use the notebook.

Before releasing a stable version of Sage, a release manager needs to
ensure that Sage compiles (on the various supported platforms) and
also that Sage starts from the command line. Equally important is that
one needs to ensure that the Sage notebook also can be loaded. The
Internet provides a dirt cheap communication medium for open source
projects. However, downloading a 200 MB tarball to one's local
computer for each pre-release can quickly eats into one's monthly
Internet quota. I have no problem with upgrading. But I don't want to
rule out the possibility that someone would download the full source
tarball and compile it.
