OK, but this is after the fact. After the RC has been approved.
No, I mean before the fact. I mean, we do have a "frozen" source package
when we start building all the binaries for any Release Candidate.
Nothing forbids that PMC members, once properly informed via this list,
start building using the very same sources that will be used to build
binaries and make them available for testing. This means that we've
always had about one week for PMC members to build their own version if
they wanted to, as we need 3-4 days for building for all platforms and
putting all binaries online, and then 3+ days for voting.
