It makes sense, but IMHO the best point to do the testing is
after the archives are made, not before. The process of making
the archives is automatic (time consuming, but automatic). So
maybe we can organise it so that one person tags the CVS tree
and builds the archives, with minimal testing only (e.g. I'd
test on Linux/X only, and not try particularly hard). Then they
have the real distribution archives, which can be uploaded but
not announced until they've been tested on all the different
platforms (this task can be shared out). If all goes well, the
full release is made. If there are problems, it's not too much
work to go back and make new archives since after the bug is
fixed you just have to run zipup.sh.
