Close to what I'm thinking of. Except let's not just limit it to QA
leads or anything. Anyone can commit to stable-rc at this time, perhaps
they operate through submitting patches through the leads, or a group of
volunteers, so that it's guaranteed to be peer-reviewed. But we
completely lock down the test grimoire, it's frozen. stable-rc gets it's
bugs fixed, and the release is pushed out to stable.
