Reviewers are encouraged to test their own use cases
with the release candidate, and vote +1 if no issues

the final vote, but votes from all community members
are encouraged and helpful for finding regressions;
you can either test your own use cases [13] or use
cases from the validation sheet [10].
The complete staging area is available for your
