The Commons [http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/prepare.html
Preparation Guide] is a helpful preparation backgrounder, but Commons
uses the "beta/release-candidate/final" process.
Likewise, the [http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html
HTTPD Release Guidelines] is a helpful "overall process" backgrounder,
but HTTPD does not use a test-build stage.
