With any luck the same release process works; Benson's tried most of it recently. I suppose you can do a dry run if you're bored to test the wiki documentation. But I imagine even better would be to try a few examples and double-check the bits not covered by unit tests work.
All in all not expecting much hassle at the end of the week for the release.
