Me and Martin discussed this process a bit at UDS and concluded we
weren't a fan of the current method where bzr seems to get released
twice, one for source and once for packages.  Better would be instead
of having it "gone gold" to have a release candidate which is given to
packagers and then a few days later to have it go gold along with
hopefully a nice selection of binary packages.  This means there is
only one release which is more exciting to those of us who eagerly
anticipate releases.  It also means if a problem is found by packagers
in the release candidate it can be updated before it goes gold.
