what we do with the GNAT releases, which has worked well is to issue a
candidate release. Then we encourage all customers to try out this new
release and report problems and regressions.

We fix *ONLY* regressions, and *ONLY* if the fix is safe. We do not allow
any other fixes into the final release which follows a few months later.
