So you would put out these pre1 etc. releases even when we know the
tests are failing? Who would sign them? Also, who do we expect to
consume these tarballs?

I'd like to see out test suite pass, including the bindings before we
release anything. I kind of do not think we should branch before then
either, but that is more open for debate.

I ran all the tests this weekend and the Perl and Ruby bindings are
both broken. Other than that, the other test failures are "known" and
I've seen discussion about them.
