This makes a lot of sense to me even It would not be possible to upgrade from CR1 to Final
on staging.
For those who’re waiting for upcoming release and need to be sure that Final version will
work (like we do with 1.6.0) that approach will help for sure.
Thanks for considering it.

Lately we've been following a pretty aggressive release schedule with a new Final
released every 4 to 6 weeks. We want to continue having frequent releases, but at the same
time it would be good to give people the opportunity to test things out in advance of a
release.
I propose we continue doing releases every 4-6 weeks, but instead of going straight to
Final we'll release a CR1. If there are no high priority issues reported against
within a week we'll release the Final. Otherwise we'll release CR2, but this time
reduce the wait to roughly half a week before releasing Final (or CR3).
We would not support migrating between CR releases as they are purely targeted towards
testing. These releases should only be used in staging/test environments. Ideally with a
copy of the production database. Basically that would mean that upgrading from 1.6.0.Final
to 1.7.0.CR1 and then upgrading to 1.7.0.Final would not work. You would have to upgrade
directly from 1.6.0.Final to 1.7.0.Final.
I'd like to ask the community is this something that would be beneficial? Would you
actually play with and test release candidates, or would you simply wait for the Final to
be released?
