... because they don't need so much individual verification of the changes?

Three technical board members replied and they seem quite positive
(indeed quite flattering).

 They have one specific request which is that as part of the process
we should run 'selftest' on the packaged form, which makes sense.
(It's probably often done now, but perhaps it should be written down).

I expect at the next TB meeting it will be formally approved and then
added to the micro release approval list.

I think we still need a figurehead bug to kick off an update?
