Well here's the problem I face: I cannot know any sooner than Tuesday before release (Thursday) what the state of the images are. In fact, sometimes (14.04.2) I don't even know until day of release!!!!
I could try to make sure testing is done on dailies a week before, but I still won't be able to say anything definite because there's lots of opportunity for changes while we wait. The images are frozen come Tuesday. At least for non-release milestones, that's the case. Beyond that, it shouldn't be too difficult. I hope you can understand.
